THE BIT THEY DIDN'T PUT ON THE BOX.
A Bentley-sized bill for a Volkswagen-sized part?
Early Bentley Continentals share their heavy platform and braking dimensions with the VW Phaeton and Touareg V10. Bentley-boxed front discs carry a luxury markup of £400+ per disc, while the identical Brembo/VW-spec equivalents cost roughly £90–£130.
SO WHAT'S THE CATCH?
Brake-disc dimensions alone do not prove interchangeability. Confirm exact fitment and safety requirements.

Look for complete part numbers and revisions, make sure you're comparing the same quantity, and check the exact model/application. That's especially important with electrical, braking, steering, battery and other safety-related components.
