Anyone found drilled/M3 style 2-piece M Sport discs?

I prefer the look of the M drilled-only discs but I can only find either discs that are two piece but dimpled/slotted (M Perf) or drilled only but one-piece.
Anyone know of reasonably priced drilled two-piece units for M brakes (370mm)?
RB racing doing a lovely pair of floating discs but at £900 it's too much for mainly aesthetic purposes!
Cheers

I went for dimples and grooves as they give much the same aesthetic effect as drilled.

I'd take a two piece high carbon steel disc with aluminium hat every single time over a one piece disc. Sounds like you know that already though.

Does look like that might be my only practical option I'm just not as big a fan of dimpled/grooved.

Yes I can get hold of drilled one piece, Zimmerman do a set, but as you say the aluminium hat is the way forward (and looks better) accepting I'm probably not going to notice the extra weight difference though

I just bought these from Autodoc, TRW 2 piece and strangely cheaper than solid discs at about £180 delivered.

Good price but sadly exactly the design I'm trying to avoid

I did the same, front and rear ones cost me less than £350 a couple of weeks ago. Going to have a go at fitting them myself in the next couple of weekends I think.

Don't blame you, the grooved discs make a humming sound when braking, which irritated the hell out of me!

Stick with plain discs imo.
