do you have an inspection pit in your garage james, very handy if you do.....and very lucky ...
Well picked up this bad boy from my local TPS , it is a job that I have been putting off for a while now and I am not overly eager to rush out to fit it tonight , well any day quite frankly, but it need doings asap now so its on the weekend todo list, bound to be knuckle busting & arm twisting fiddly job....but as they say "its a tough job but somebody has to do it" just happens to be me.....

i bet they don't stay clean long mine don't, recon that's why Carl went for black one's
Absolutely nothing as it's raining.....
But my new Powerflex Snub Mount arrived today and it's a nice soft ploybush.....I would say it's about the same hardness, well maybe just a little bit harder than the rubber mount a few of us tried out. But it's squishsy so it's nowhere near as hard as the APR one I had on and this one also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Oh and a spoiler alert of what arrived yesterday....
Jesus Christ I like the look of those brakes! How much was that snub?

And it's still quite supple so it should be smooth on the oil burners. Hoping for a little bit of dry weather tomorrow to get it fitted.
The rotors are 356mm so 44mm bigger than my standards.
I can make the snub mount deform in one hand so it should still be comfortable for idling yet firm enough for hard acceleration. According to Powerflex it should be roughly 25-30% stiffer than a standard mount.
Early Birthday present to self and they should stay cleanish.....to a certain degree.
In all honesty I like the subtle way that's why I went for the black....I don't want them to jump out and say look at me! I know it's a little hard with big rotors right sitting inside them. But I've never liked bright colours on calipers.
And as Tony has said they may hide the muck a little better.
unless you are color blind , like me , so it doesn't make a great deal of difference as they all look the same...lol
I'm borderline with the primary colors, and totally useless with shades of them, I went into my local cake shop a while back to get some " goodies" if you know what I mean....they had a sign on the wall with a menu text in different colors, all I could see what is said was ......r......y..l.......dd........etc , total nightmare carl.. needless to say I had to ask for a translation so I could order something...lol
yep, I have on my special color vision goggles now......hahhaRobs a nob lmao can you see that ha ha
