DIY EVO/JCW Brembo front calipers

Has anyone tried to fit a set of EVO Brembo Calipers onto a Mini?
looks like they should fit and make a cheaper brake upgrade conversion????

Disc size for caliper:

EVO 320mm X 32mm
JCW 294mm X 22mm

Looks like there is a 10mm difference between them in width...
Would that effect???
and
Would they just bolt on the mini knuckel or you would need to make a flange to fit them on????

thanks

unless they are stupidly cheap, seems a waste of time mixing and matching.

There are so many cheap BBK's around for the mini i would stick with that option.

With just over 250 to 300pounds for a good pair of EVO Brembo calipers you could have better performance brakes than BBK's,
hehh believe it or not some times its good to waste time as you gain more knowledge.
