My TD6 failed MOT last year due to corrosion on the front drivers-side brake pipe. (its the bend that emerges from the plastic wheel liner that takes the brunt of corrosion.) I opted for the roll of copper cut to length approach and achieved quite a decent looking final job.
Taking the old (pre shaped) piece out was a bit of a tw@, I ended up cutting it up into pieces, so I imagine fitting a new pre-shaped piece would be a real pain. I would go that route every time. Remember the original pipes are fitted without many ancillary parts in the way. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE
