1.2 Active Owners

Does your active have vented disks on the front?

Mine is a March 06 built, 56 reg'd and has vented disks

yet my mums May 08 reg 360 edition (1.2 8v) has solid ones.

I'm wondering, is it because my mums is one of the newer models that she has the solid disks or has mine had a rogue upgrade put on it whilst being built?

I think i may need to change them soon as they are looking worn and the solids are £42.79 and the vented are £29.28. i would have thought it would be the other way round for the prices. (from shop4parts)

What do other people have?

Thanks

Re: 1.2 Active Owners

Mine are vented - July 06 reg. Would have preferred solid as i have found in the past that vented discs wear quicker than solid. Least they will be cheaper to change when the time comes
