I called shotgun first. So you lot can go whistle and wait your turn... Whistle Laughing Laughing

Just waiting on my rear brake set up now.

Caliper paint has been bought.

Click image to enlarge


Subaru Blue ridge Pearl. Thumbs Up

Not as tacky Wink as yellow, more a subtle shade for the more discerning D3 owner... Mr. Green Rolling with laughter


Only issue is the front disc's. The Ebay ad never said who makes them.
They have came in Britpart boxes... Crying or Very sad Big Cry
I HATE Britpart stuff. Piles of Censored Censored stuff.

Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Mr. Green

The paint was a google search for Brembo colours and that picture came up, from a US based Subaru forum.

So got a local paint company to make up the colour.

The brakes were off Ebay. Mike linked me them, so knows how much they were.. Crying or Very sad
