Ok, now I see the confusion. The 3D0615426D + 3D0615425D is for the W12 and 4E0615425A + 4E0615426A is for the S8. The last ones maybe painted black? Anyway both will fit with the 335mm disc.

PS, and you need new dust shields to clear the bigger discs.

Be sure to double check your order if using Autodoc ........they have a habit of substituting brands....... In particular their own brands without informing you. They did this on me on a couple of orders, I checked my order straight away after placing and they had immediately changed the brands, they are pushing their own brands. I flipped my lid with them. They know after people have waited a week for items to arrive that they won't return the substituted parts....... Be warned.
