Pulling trigger on XJR?

When I bought the black XJR last year I re-placed the rotors and pads with Brembo and Akebono respectively. I was extremely pleased with them! I want to do the same thing for this car. The pads are easy enough, I already ordered them. The rear Brembo rotors are no problem; readily available. The Brembo front rotors that I was so pleased with are not available anywhere! Can anyone tell me the comparable Brembo rotor to the ones I used last year (part number W0133-1612728-BRC)
Thanks

My first Jaguar, the 2001 XJ8, had perfect leather seats with piping on them. They were the most beautiful leather seats I've ever seen in a car. If I could find a donor car with those seats I would love to transfer the whole lot, back upper/lower and both front seats, to my new white XJR. I think it would look very classy.

The driver seat was better in the black XJR, but the seats overall are better in the white one. It's just the driver seat that's a little rough. If I'm replacing the driver seat it makes me consider options like replacing them all, which made me think of those beautiful piped seats in my first Jaguar.
The insurance company has actually made a valuation on the car. They are going to let me submit receipts for the parts I've bought in the last year and adjust the payout accordingly. Next week we finalize the payout and then I can negotiate to buy back the car. The adjuster called to confirm it's definitely totaled. He said the airbags alone cost $2,800.00. He kept saying "man, that was a beautiful car". Over and over he kept mentioning what an amazing car it was. Made me feel good about our Jags!

I think our member Stu had a Daimler interior fitted in his old standard x308, I recall he was happy with it, but noted the sport seats (as in the sport and XJR) were better fitting him.
He might chime in himself.
My thought as well.

I ordered the IMC Brembo rotors from my local autozone because I got tired of trying to find the ones I wanted. I fully expected to get rotors made in China, especially based on the lower price. To my surprise when I picked them up the next day they were the exact rotors I had wanted, just a different part number. Red box, made in Italy. Go figure!

Winks -- The AutoZone part numbers were 09A60311 for the front and
JLM020342 for the rear. IMC Brembo.
Maniqz -- Been working a lot lately. I have tomorrow off so I'll go through my parts boxes and see if I can find that EGR valve.
Eric and Addicted2boost -- The insurance company said if I keep the car they deduct $800 from my payout check. I'm thinking I'll take them up on it.
