Thanks mate.

For us US folks, the dealer quoted me $455 for the front pads only to revert back by stating these items cannot be sold (NLA- no longer avail) since its not DOT approved.

That said, I did get a quote from BMMiniparts.com

GBP 308 fronts and 231 rears (VAT excluded). Add shipping and duty and its ballpark $900 for the set. FYI.
