Default AP's and wheels on. (pics)

At last after all the messing around Ive got my AP's on.
The main problem was that I just couldn't get my super legrass to fit over the brakes
So After less than 1k miles on the car Ive ditched them for these.
Thanks to everyone that helped me through it,
So what do you think?

Me too, sad to see them go.
But it was a case of super leg's or big brakes and my second choice wheel,
I think I made the right choice.

What size disks are they 330?

I had super leggers over my hispec 330 kit and fitted fine, AP's are a better brake though, would do you a swap , pair of hispec calipers for your ap's, hehe
