Evening All,
My brakes where making funny noises & was not stopping me all that well either :bump: , So I thought I would invest in a new set of disc & pads.

Got up nice n early & set about putting the car on axle stands & removing the wheels one-by-one. The old system was a mess!:omg:

When I took the calipers off, I scratched off some of the paint along the way, so I thougth it would be a good chance to repaint them, taking more time; this time round, bit of a rush job - as grantsmith1985 will tell you, lol.
First things first was to rub them all down, smooth them out & look pretty again, finished in the early hours of the morning.

I could only managed to get the brush on paint so I took my time over it, putting thin coats on each part & just going back over them before hanging them up to dry for the night - get a few hours sleep before fitting them in the morning :bored:.

Think I made an ok job of them & they work great! I can stop now, lol.
