nice and gentle on the discs with metal in the pads then :S

yep, standard disc. 3 years and 9 months old when i took it off there were actually 3 cracks and heat marks. the cracks were not visible until 3 weeks into the noise happening under breaking. it even passed an mot just under 3 weeks into the noise. the crack appeared 2 days after mot! lol

oh... i was expecting a wa|/|king photo. lol.

peugeot steel grey is what im going for (dark antharcite) its going to look great :)

bump

black looks the best out of the 3

apex springs edit, looks like apex front. standard rear. are the rear springs black or yellow?

if this was happening on the rear slightly how woukld i check it? jack it up and spin the wheel? if it was biting on slightly how would it be fixed? wind the piston in? clean the slider plate and copper grease it? sorry if they are stupid questions, just wanted to check, had to fork out £200...

is it a grinding noise or a loud vibrating noise? mine were vibrating then a crack formed. i think it was the pad biting on the disc slightly (getting it hot) then with breaking it would make the noise because it was getting too hot. could it be that?

its not just 172's i get it in my 182 also. will try pulkling the engine forward and re-tightning tho

looks great. wheels suit it too

i have to agree, mine were a nightmare

when the surface is dimpled. you sand it smooth before painting... he couldn't be bothered

black will look good. im going dark antharcite (peugeot steel grey) with my ultraleggeras on my bb 182

lol... c'mon, dont be shy

i have seen that on here. looks a cracking car

welcome. the ph1 looks great!

hello and welcome. car sounds a nice spec :)

its easy to do if you take you're time. needs sanding, cleaning, priming, painting and laquering properly. there is a skill to it but i have sprayed lots of things in the past, bike frames etc. recently sprayed my side mirrors dark antharcite, very pleased with the results.

don't let paul see this!

no

i have sprayed some plastic bits and bobs before. as said, it needs prepping properly. possibly plastic primer? they probably just wanted to give it a quick spray and not put any time and effort in. find somewhere else imo

awaits middo...

mine seems to do this too. i think my rear left brake is binding slightly. my disc recently cracked due to excess heat. what needs to be done to stop the brake binding? if it is that

i had a vibrating type noise from the rear brakes for a while, 3 weeks later a big crack appeared! check for any signs of cracks. are there any signs of heat marks on the disc's? (blue circles around the disc etc)

+1

so much better. just needs lowering a foot

looks like a great alternative

much better

I - love - this - car ! ! ! if i had a mk3 it would look like this. perfection. hat's off mate
