Just rang my local Pug stealer,oops meant dealer
Enquiring about price for front discs and pads for my CC
Discs-£100 
Pads-£52
Fitting-£58
So £210 plus VAT
So all in price fitted is £252
Needless to say I won't be using them!!
Kwik Fit only quoted £150
Just can't for the life of me see how they can even begin to justify those sort of prices, I can get a set of Mintex pads & discs for £40

| Yes I own a CC and I'm neither gay or a hairdresser!! | |

Why not DIY?
There are 'how to' guides on here.
I'd say that's a pretty good price from Peugeot. Actually, is that just front brakes?!

Buy cheap buy twice.
Ive had my discs and pads on nearly 2 years now, and there's still plenty of life in them.

How'd you manage that? As I presume (hope) that's not new prices.

Buy to cheap & you might not live to buy anything ever again.
Never skimp on tyres, oil or brakes.
