  • Had 'em done (the brakes that is)

    Front brakes sorted... much better. (Sorry it's not a better picture!)



    And errr... yes - that's the new 17s as well!
    Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

      You guess completely right 322x32 discs. The holes are cast in not drilled, and are chamfered as well. 4 pot calipers.

              Nope mov'it are now creating their own calipers i think, they just invested a shed load in their own r&D and production facilities.

                Nice, watch out for your teeth in the steering wheel when you stamp on them proper for the first time! I've got black calipers too.
                What pads did you get?
                Dare we ask you how much? Was it just the fronts, or rears too?

                  I always thought that Mov.it just did the application work - making custom bells & brackets, buy the disks & calipers in from the best manufacturer and trhen sold the kit on complete ??

                      Both "Road" (what's in now) and "Track" (what was in at Goodwood)

                        I like that blue mini as well

                            Looks happily familiar - the fronts at any rate, and in black. I've left the backs alone for the time being. Bank balance and all needs to be taken account of somewhere!

                              @alistair - yeah thought I'd seen that on my trawl around looking for info on my calipers :-) They just look like less detailed porsche monoblocks
