Only problem is i'm not 100% if the car has had the brake upgrade! The service history shows that in very late 2003 the pads and discs were replaced (with no charge) but it doesn't say if this was the 330 upgrade. Is there and easy way to tell at all?

Sorry to hijack your thread ohwell BTW

Me too,
today i forked out 300 quid and bought Ferodo Ds2500(balance motorsport) Front genuine alfa romeo discs rear magnetti marelli discs and pads(Shop4parts). I decided to use alfa original front discs as the original ones lasted for 34K. The downside is that i won't have them till Tuesday and thus i cannot take advantage of the bank holiday and fit them.
