BigOL I presume you mean the brake discs, if so then i'll do you a how to, Ill see if I can gets some pics taken of what needs doing over the weekend and write it up then.
Truth be told its very easy to do, just needs alot of brute force the first time.

I would love to know how you did the HID's personally as I have heard the same kits can be used on C2's ;D Chi - I said use either greenstuffs for fast road or if you want them to last a bit longer get blackstuffs, or Ferrodo pads are supposed to be very good too. You don't need the brakes bled unless you think you got air in the system from boiling the fluid.

Ok, ill do you a full "How to" for the discs & the HID's.
BTW, it is advisable to change the brake fluid every 2 years as it collects moisture through the seals and hoses (yes it seeps in through them & discolours the fluid).
Its easy and cheap to do yourself and only needs one person if you get the fluid and quick bleed kit from halfords (can use it over & over). Just make sure you keep the fluid level up above minimum in the brake reservoir.
