Default Stopped raining for a while so....

I quickly cleaned the car Although didnt polish or wax it or do the engine bay was worried it would rain again!

Recent updates are the front brakes and PIAA horns as the standard one stopped working and wanted to replace anyhow.

Heres some pics...









And now in hibernation for the time being!




And a quick shot of my daily driver: Clio 182


Thanks for looking

Matt

Looks nice, would get some wax or Sealent on the paint. Car covers can sweat. Even if it's just a spray detail wax. But it's a lovely motor - how does the car pass the mot with that tow hook?

Cracking pic that Skullfudge just robbed it for my wallpaper lol. Gold could be a good idea, it used to be a brighter red than what it is, may paint it bright red again to match the front calipers.

That will all depend upon the direction of the vanes in the disc and not the grooves on the outside of it

Next time the wheels are off look at the vanes in the vented part of the disc - if they run directional they should scoop the air, ie they should point down at the front to take in the air as the wheel rotates forward

That assumes that the OPs rotors are AP and not another manufacturer, or the same type of rotor, the dimples on my PFs run the other way to yours...

I was thinking the same Tony. The gold Rota's look very inviting on a nice black example.

Cool car.
But aint' those towbars supposed to be on the back of the car instead?
Would not like to get hit by that car in a accident and have my calf split open if i was walking across the street...

Nice, that's an early blob you have there (unless it's had a front end facelift?)
