Hi Allan, the C3 can have drums and discs with pads and shoes or discs all round with pads, and the front discs come in different sizes depending on the specifications of the car.

I suggest you click this link to Euro Car Parts and use the registration number tool to select the correct parts. If you are still presented with a choice, read the description to match the part with your specification.


These are some pictures of various C3 brake parts

The brake rewind tool can be found by clicking here (ebay) or here for euro car parts and is used on all the C3 model for front brakes and some models for rear brakes.
