    Brembo Max Grooved vs Brembo HC

    Yeah think I'll just stick with the normal HC disc's and my RC6 pads. Think my discs have had something stick in them and have a little groove round one of them so might replace them. @George@RTR_Parts best price on a set of HC disc's and cheap oem pads if you can please. Thanks.

    200t Pagid pads and hazard lights

    I thought it was the brake lights that supposed too flash when braking hard (think it's a euro spec thing) seen some 4.0 V8 M3's on track that have it on and think my dad used his VagCom to code it on his R8.

    Sliding Brake Pads

    Apparently it gives the pads a little room when stuff gets hot around that area it expands a little and without the shims helps keep stuff free. I've done 2 track days and a few hundred road miles with no issues whatsoever with no shims. The previous owner ran the same pads on track and left...

    Show me your decals/stickers

    Certainly wouldn't be short of advertising space if you dished them out on here. What size number do people use? saves me nipping out to the car in this weather and holding up some A4 paper to the door to see what size I would need roughly.

    Brembo Max Grooved vs Brembo HC

    Is there much difference bar the price? £45 for the plain HC and £99 for the max grooved and at the price for the plain non grooved disc's I could have a spare set of them sat in the van as a back up on track days (unlikely to be needed but you never know), These would be going on my track car...

    Sliding Brake Pads

    I don't run the shim's with my CL6 pads they do clunk around a little but dont have any issues gives a little more room when they expand on track when they get hot. just a little noisy and they do sound like they're gonna fall out in reverse lol

    'Aftermarket' warranties for gearbox

    As said above save the £640 and that will cover the cost of removing and having it rebuilt by someone who you choose (i.e agency) not some random garage who is cheapest chosen by the insurance/warranty people

    Washed my other car today (not the clio)

    I'm debating as the wheels need a refurb on either gloss black again, silver face with black inside, just all done silver or ceramic polished. Not sure if the polished would be too bling for it though. Thanks everyone for the comments it certainly gets attention wherever I go lol people love it.

    Washed my other car today (not the clio)

    To be fair @gally It's not that bad lol I average about 13mpg (i just dont do many miles in total even my 335d or 125d BMW's were wasted doing 4-5k a year hence the purchase of a big V8) and insurance is only £700 tax is almost that lol at £500. Can you recommend any thing I can use by hand to...

    Thinking of the Auto Finesse Ultimate car care kit

    Are these any good and is the polish/wax ok for a Black car?

My dad is into detailing lol but he...
