Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

There's a big smudge on your reg plates. You should have told them to sort that too :pac:

Na well wear dude. A fine result after all that drama.

Serious stopping power in these, I went for a 'quiet' drive last night to bed these discs and pads in and the stopping from 60 to 15mph was unbelievable. I have read of people getting warped discs but they should not warp if bedded in properly.

They look insane!

I'm loving my brakes too, they are far better than stock, and a great upgrade and cheap too. EBC GreenStuff pads and Bosch disks on mine. You hear lots of people warning about needing to warm them before they're effective. This simply isn't true from my experience.

They are massive improvement over OEM, No need to warm these up but you do need to do a proper bedding in process, on a quiet national road I should add.

These belong to a car that was well taken care of down here, can't go wrong really.

The car is clean as in the body looks well looked after and also clean from a wash

Maybe more a double entendre actually...

Spent over an hour cleaning the car to come out to this! No respect for a mans hard work!

Hachiko

bird shiite is the worst. Put on a coat of car lack, it will make this crap easy to remove.

Gavman84

It's gone already cleaned it straight off was fresh! Car is polished too so helps it come off easier too.

Don't tell me you sold your DC2 for a felt spec A4...

So as mentioned in the chat thread. A convertible has been bought this weekend.... Myself, Ded Zebra and Quadrifoglio Verde have invested in this barge. It's a 2001 CLK320 Avantgarde for bangernomics money...!

We have called it The Titanic as a temporary name..




(We invested in this after selling our Po-low....:pac:)

Lovely. Those W208s were a great car.

Curious, how does the insurance work when there are 3 people using it?

Named drivers I guess.

Or driving other cars policy used by 2 non-owners.

Wouldn't want to be the main person insured in case one of the other 2 write it off

Summer wheels, new brakes calipers, now just need to sort a few other cosmetic bits.



Car has been really flexible, it carries everything!
