Ok. back before i was even part of this forum, i made a newbie mistake......i ordered a part without first doing some research! kindasad.gif

i ordered these disks from the U.S. believing that they would fit my car. luckily i only ordered the front pair. i tried to have them put on i was told that they won't fit due to the hole placements. then i later discovered that these disks are for the U.S. model Celi. i thought that something as basic as brake disks were pretty much universal. guess not.
Sport Compact Only, rotora disks
What do i do with them now? some suggestions were to have the holes filled and new holes redrilled for my car. my concern would be the structural integrity of the disks. other suggestions was to swap out the part that the disks bolt onto. or, i could sell them. they cost me about $300, with shipping. but we don't have U.S. model celi's here!! mad.gif

any suggestions? rolleyes.gif

???? you lost me. Why wouldn't the site mention anything about the measurements? Then again, i didn't actually see the mechanic try to put them on. he just told me (after he had already fitted new shocks to my car) that he tried and couldn't get it on. he even made me a cut-out of, what should be, the actual placement of the holes for my car. Thanks.
