Update for you guys.

I recently purchased a set of R32 front callipers and discs so set about rubbing the paint down and giving them a good spray up (in red of course) and im dead chuffed with how they came out :)





Stripped down and rubbed back





Primed





And the finished product :)





There not fitted yet as i had some issues with the wrong hoses being delivered but i have all the gear now so just waiting for a day off to get them fitted along with some fresh fluid.


I decided yesterday that the car was in dire need of a good clean so i donned a hoodie and braved the cold to get scrubbing.





And woke up this morning to be greeted with some lovely bead p0rn :p

Ye I wanna do a track day just to see what all the fuss is about. plus the standard brakes don't quite cut the mustard at stage 2. Iv experienced a lot of brake fade and it's pretty scary at times haha

Well today I finally got round to fitting my r32 front breaks. Was a lovely day so I set to it, only took a couple of hours and Im so happy with the result! Not only does it stop soo much better, it also really looks the part sitting inside the front wheels ;)

Here's a before and after

Thanks guys.

Yea considering there still slide callipers there awsum. I was considering doing down the 4 pot route but it would have been a lot more money. I'm over the moon with these :)
