The D3 front calipers are a straight swap for the D2 A8 HP2 caliper and are a much better design in every way. One of the few uses for the D3
Looking good is a perfectly good reason for fitting them!
My MoT today was all fine but for an advisory on slight pitting/grooving of the rear discs so that looks like a reason to investigate these
