This weekend I got all the horns fitted and wired up. All I need to do now is remove the stock horn. I'll do that next weekend.

I bought these Alcon/Prodrive brakes second hand the idea is to stip them down give them a good old clean up, coat of paint and new seals, pistons. New pad and disc to. Would like to here back on what pads and disc people recommend. It's not going to be used as a track car just a fast road car.

Evil looking car, very lavishly decked out. Looks really mean.

One thing is bugging me though, the grill to bonnet panel gap, must be a way to rectify it.

Hi mate,
I got it from Mad Motors here is a link.
.Universal Spoilers. :: MAD MOTORS - YOUR ONE-STOP MODIFYING SHOP

It is the SPL tuning one. And no it's not a direct replacement, you have to drill the holes to fit it.

Pagid blue for the brakes IMHO

Discs- if just a road car,then the oem one pieces are alright although you'll need to paint the bell as it rusts like boogery

I have two pieces rotors and the same calipers - Ian Godney (posts on here) produces a two piece kit and is cheap. I had a set of bells made and used Performance Friction rotors although AP can also be used as the fittings are the same. So far very pleased with the PF/pagid combination

The idea for this weekend was to strip down both calipers. It was'nt as hard as I thought. It was only 6 allen key bolts. This is what they did look like.

This weekend I got both claipers stiped down ready for painting, the prodrive writing looks like its going to be a bit of a pain but never mind. Also be in contact with Alcon regarding the seals and pistons. They want £27 per piston and £45 per claiper. WTF I need them so i'm going to have to pay for them. And theres a 5 week waiting list.

I think they look quite good, The prodrive lettering I had to do by hand that was quite hard to do. Very fiddly.

I'v had one of my old bumpers laying around at work for ages. And the other day I was looking at it and I thought I could do something with it, I was't sure what but I was sure there was something I could do. So I started looking at the car mags for some ideas. I came across the norris desgin evo, I looked at it and looked at the bumper and I throught yeah I can do it. I don't no how well it will come out I might start it and think I'm wasting my time. But I will give it a go.

What? You're going to make it look like the 1 on the Norris Evo? Don't do it! Will look horrendous on anything other than a racecar.
