Default Carbon Ceramic Rotors Needed

Does any know where I can get a set of Carbon Ceramic Rotors in the UK for my F type at reasonable cost - New or used... I am collecting a kit of parts to undertake the retrofit project and am now needing the rotors. Any thoughts or ideas welcome.

Probably not a good idea to get used ones unless you have 100% proof they were barely used.
I usually find that the cheapest UK seller of F-Type parts is Britcar, but even their prices for these rotors are ridiculous.
3455 GBP plus 691 VAT = 4146 GBP EACH for the front rotors (part # T2R13428) and 4042 plus 808 VAT = 4850 GBP EACH for the rear rotors (part # T2R23861) = a total cost of near as dammit to 18,000 GBP without factoring in any postage cost.
It seems you would be better off getting them from a US seller such as Jaguar Reno Parts even allowing for a large postage/shipping cost, for example see here: https://parts.jaguarreno.com/oem-par...rotor-t2r13428
I suspect that F-Type CCM brakes and "reasonable cost" are mutually exclusive terms.

The conversion cost as well as ongoing maintenance costs really make this an ineffective upgrade. Consider instead the installation of a set of Wortec Sunburst 2pc. rotors. That's about a $2800investment, a weight savings equivalent to the CCBs, and more heat dissipation than the OEM steel rotors.

General Motors uses Brembo rotors on the Corvette and Camaro. If you reasearch you will see that they are very close to the Jaguar rotors. Below are 396mm X 36mm vs 398mm X 38mm for the jag. These variances as I see it have no effect on the figment. Issue for you is that you need the Jaguar Hats to swap just the disk over. $1,200 US. This will be the direction I go if I need to do any replacement.
