Brakes on my P1
Fitted some 44groove Tarox discs along with some Mintex pads all courtesy of Graham Goode. Thought i might aswell paint the calipers to liven them up a bit aswell...... lookes a lot better than the standard black.

apart from having to wait an hour for each coat to dry, took about an hour tops to do the brakes. I will be doing the white lettering tomorrow, along with the rear's.

nice. Make sure to post pics when you are all done.
Be tempted to do mine as they are a manky yellow/green now. Don't remember if they are supposed to be like that, or its me being a bit eager with the 'hot rims'

the car has been sat idle for 8 weeks cos i broke my ankle.
I specifically didnt take a whole car pic as she is stinking dirty. I sense a day of polishing coming on......
I would have liked bigger discs. I asked on here not so long back but got a very poor response so i just went with the Tarox 44groove.. They dont look too bad when you stand by car

hell of a lot of squeaking to start with.
Have only done roughly 100miles on them but i can feel a signifigant difference already. very happy with them so far
