When I said my discs were rusting I meant everywhere except the pad swept area, that area doesn’t rust as it’s constantly used. The special coatings are applied to the whole discs I’m not convinced they work all that well but the idea is that they stop the non swept areas from rusting which in the c...

and the rears?

Yes but with drilled discs it adds further to the looks so when you’re due some new discs I’d recommend you find some drilled ones too. That looks nice mate. I’ll prob try doing the callipers myself with a brush will post a pic if it looks good haha!

or £280 with key cut, which I don’t need!

Thanks

Good idea though to check eBay pics will do a quick scout about.

Okay, well if anyone knows of any different shape wing mirror caps which may change the aero dynamics let me know. Over about 40 ish the sound is definitely there. Surprised not many noticed this on J11. I think it may be the shape of bonnet push air toward the huge wing mirrors. I managed to get ri...
