Default Braking Issues

Ok i changed the brakes on my 3i to rs turbo calibers and discs. I have bled the system but the pedal is not getting stiff and just goes straight to the floor. I cant see any leeks. What could be wrong

Brakes have been bled and from what I can tell there is no air in the system but pedal still pedal still going to floor. When u put the pedal to the floor the car will stop after a while.
