How do the Porsche brakes compare to brembos?
Nice car mate .... Blobs are by far the best looking scoobies IMO

i hope you bump into the culprits one night, i can see your point in putting a forged engine and six speed box in it though as its a lovely looking blob.
the wheels and red calipers really suit a silver car.

i like the subtle mods like the black detango and roof spoiler.

now dont park it in dodgy pub car parks

they are ok with the correct pads and discs but the porsche ones you have will be far better, the two piece discs help loads with getting rid of the heat.

i kinda hope i dont find them cos i will really hurt them and get myself back into trouble,the last time i got nicked was a close call and ive kinda changed my ways now.

everyone like the wheels but im not keen,i want some grid drifts on her.yeah she is a beauty mate,im the 3rd owner and i have paperwork for ££££ spent on her,she has been really well looked after and you wouldnt know she has done 98k

Car looks stunning. Not my call, but the wheels look spot on IMO especially with those brakes

As for the ******* that did the damage.... well people know my views on what I would like to happen to people like that..... apparently I am a nasty person for thinking things like that but **** 'em!
