    As I was upgrading my new SD from Cooper to S brakes (daftly, Mini only fit the SD with Cooper brakes), I thought I had better buy these components new and they cost £470 in total. So half price for, what?, half-worn seems fair, if no the deal of the century.

    Thanks for all the advice, do i buy r56 or r53 brake hoses? Am looking at the hel ones on ebay.http://www.1320.co.uk/hel-performance-front-brake-lines. Would these be suitable?

    Congrats mate. I'm not 100% sure I'm positive someone will be able to offer some advice, I'm guessing r56 ones but only a guess. Email 1320 them guys are proper helpful and will be able to comment I bet they've done the conversion a million times

    Will these calipers fit straight on or are the carriers different?
