Sounds like their sending you the 1.2 8v discs which are 235mm (iirc), all the 16v non rs clios use 259mm front discs and the should be vented.

its stupid tho how i tell them the exact make and model and i said jus before i ordered them "will they definatly fit" and they said yes.

could you possibly direct me to a company that will get it right

i have got a 1.2 16V with ABS 2005

cheers

Demon tweeks should be able to sort out some performance discs without too much hassle.

Halford sell the right ones as said most companies don't get it right. Its one thing Renault are good at getting the right front brake part.

239mm your will be you need the 259mm ones.

If you want uprated one (No idea why stock are more than adequate after all there Williams front brakes).

The bfront brakes are the same as the Mk2 phase 1 1.6 16V the Williams and the 1.8 16V Mk1.

so will the 259mm ones work in place of the 239mm ones, or wont the caliper fit?

1.2 16V is the same as the clio 16v/williams believe it or not!
