Default GOT ME CAR BACK!! AP BRAKES ETC...***PICS HERE***

Thanks all @ A1 RallySport

Jobs a good'n

AP's look luuuuuuurvely on the front as do the rear disc conversion
Suspension setup makes the car sit higher, but I need to unload the car 'cos it rubbed it's head off on the drive back home

Brakes work a treat - very surprised Love them infact

Also destroyed the o/s rear bodykit arch somehow which I will inspect tomorrrow

I will of course update you all with pics etc tomorrow if that's ok 'cos it pissing down with rain and it's dark LOL

Well, done a few things for MOT which it should be getting tomorrow or Sat AM

Looked at my arches and they are completely mullered Fook knows what's happened there, but it's getting sorted out tomorrow in the way of arch trimming along with some minor welding it needs
Going to be FULLY waxoiled underneath too

Anyway, here's 2 pics of the brakes (only 2 as it's dark outside)

I don't drive it slow all the time you know

They work well, still need to be ran in fully, then away we go

Steve mentioned they'd need to be bled again, still got a spongy pedal you see

One of the two local garages in my village, top job and only took it down last night to see if they could fit it in for me

The other local garage is one we have been going to for years and never been disapointed with the service we have received from them

Even let them loose on mine and my old Red RST with no worries at all
