Don't even try to order rear discs from any motor factor (D&A, Autosave etc...) they don't have the discs on their system. apparently it's an OEM only part - basically cos there's not so many JCWs on the road as 'normal' Mini's, manufacturers aren't spending the money to get the discs made.
Just been through this all weekend, after giving my Reg No to the parts place, and them getting me the discs the system puts up for my reg. They'll only ever give you the 259mm discs, JCWs are 280mm. Also be aware that there are different wear sensors out there too, you'll need the one with the white connector, not black - as below:

Not having a moan at anywhere in particular, just FYI, beware when ordering specific JCW parts.
Oh.. and of course.. the bigger discs are about £20 more expensive! :rolleyes:;)
