480 vented brakes

Post by Carlos » Sat Aug 27, 2005 8:26 am

Hi All

I'm trying to get hold of some vented calipers from a 480 turbo for a little project I'm doing. I'm having difficulty finding some though. Can anyone tell me which models had them fitted? I've been told it's cars from 93, but wanted to get some expert opinions :) Do any other models have the same calipers?

Also if anyone has a set for sale then let me know. Possibly also after a set of alloys too.

Cheers

Carl

Thanks for your replies, at least I know what I'm looking for now!

I'm in Southampton, England, and I'd definately be interested in them if it was feasible to get them to me and they weren't too expensive :)
