   I'm just getting a bit worried, had my discs off today to inspect them and there's deep scoring in both of them and the pads were only cheapies.
   
   I'll have a look for em
   
   
   do you know if the 206gti 180 has different calipers to the other 206 models?

   i would imagine they are bigger calipers than whats one the other 206s cos of the size of disc
   
   scores? would that not just mean you had some shit between pads and discs
