   As above really... I think they look too small to be front dics and calipers.
   
   
   
   Opinions?

   They could well be mate!
   
   Measure them and find out!
   
   If they are gti180's then the discs will measure 266mm
   
   If they are gti-6 brakes they will be 283mm

   I dont actually have them to be able to measure them.
   You said they could be........? Rears or genuine 180 front brakes?

   I would say the discs look too small, but only would take like 1min to ask him to just put a 300mm ruler against them - then should easily be able to tell if they are 266 or 283mm discs.
   
   I think the pad shape looks right.

   GTi180 brakes are 283mm too, except they use 26mm thick discs, whereas gti6 brakes use 22mm thick discs
   206 GTi 138(normal model) uses 266mm discs.

   And to answer the question, yes they look like gti180 brakes to me, the discs look much bigger than 266mm.

    No, the two shiny holes above the pad on the bottom pic is where it bolts to the strut.

    Do they look like calipers and carriers though? Im confused
    Also will the discs fit a Saxo and finally what do you think they are worth? They have covered 40,000mls and came off a 55 plate....

    i looked at getting those 2 but im a bit weary, how much better would this set up be over gti6, or just a 206 gti.
