The red hose i've had too long to return and the purple hose they make to order so luckily they haven't sent it yet but are unable to refund me so having to spend another £25 on the correct size hose for the k&n which apparently isn't 76-63 but is actually 76-70mm
That's awesome mate!! They do look nice and being genuine they won't mist up etc

Thanks mate
Red brembos are chaging slightly,
Mainly because I wanted white decals but they ran out, however I have ordered white decals and will be removing the black and using caliper lac over the top.
Brembos are also not complete just yet, some minor details to be added yet. Pipes are not staying red that's for sure. (unless I get lazy anyway lol) & the bleed nips need paint removing.
Here is the latest pic, collected them yesterday,
I hate not having my SLR and an SLR sitting around which has no bat cable FML.
As for the offset I am unsure about this, but I know they will fit. I doubt I'll be using 180 discs at this time, fancy larger ones - can't have my old Saxo running larger discs than my 180. It's all unsprung weight though hmm. The calipers are quite heavy but the stopping power on my Saxo with the 2 port 23mm 406 MC & s**t everyday mintex pads was very good.
Still deciding my combo though. Looking for decent discs & pads still. I don't want to go over kill just yet anyway.

Thanks mate nah, that was purely for the colour,
I got them done by a mate. My last set that I did turned out better, but I can deal with these after some slight changes haha.
Looks like it's going to be a tight fit with the Turinis!

Thanks mate, they're 406 3.0 v6 Brembos.
Small update...
Getting bored of stock sounds so started myself off with some new front speakers. Only broke 1 clip from one door card which I was verrrrry happy about.
So it sounds abit better, however I need to look in to a small 8" sub and tiny amp/hu just to improve the audio. I don't want to add weight but I need proper or at least half decent audio.
Also...
Decals came, here is a contrasting pic. Definitely white over black! and obviously mine aren't on the p**s, well at least as much!
I'm not sure if I'm going to do another coat on the calipers myself at this stage. Certainly some bits will be changed a tad though!
Bar that car is dirty, and the inside looks like I've been living in it! *birthday weekend, haven't had a chance to clean it lol.

Decided I wasn't happy with the finish so I painted them this time.
From this;
To this;
Got custom decals coming too. ( :
Finish isn't perrrrrrrrrfect couple of small runs but not on the face of the caliper they're pretty sweet so I'm happy.

& erm finally,
So this weekend, bish bash bosh 450 odd sobs later and my car has a decent audio setup.
I won't do a complete shopping list, although it's nothing major. Pioneer HU all singing and dancing. Got bluetooth 2 usbs, 3 pre outs and other number stuff that means not too much to me. I got a cool little mic which is mounted right under the alarm sensor for in car calls, this isn't new technology to me as I had a Sony HU on my old 206 with Bluetooth but it had no mic I think it just used the phone one before.
Also got a Vibe Sub and speakers and obviously wiring kit. All I need now, because the guys in Halfrauds are thick is a cable to re-connect my steering column controls for the HU and the dab adapter. Zomg.
HU Box;
Sub;
HU fitted;
I quite like this HU it changes colour and all sorts lol!
Anyway so yeah, I guess I'm going for an al-rounder until I get a better car, then this will be either sold OR end up as a track toy, depends on what it's worth really at the time.
So I had time at the start of yesterday for a quick clean and fit these new headlights...
Oh this was whilst deciding whether I wanted to keep the valeos on. I had to faf abit to get a nice fit even though they are stock. I think I prefer the morettes still but I do quite like these! (my mate thinks they look s**t but hey ho!)
So here is a shot of the front;
And another for good measure...
And a couple of larger pics;
&
So what's next?
Hmm well I can't see me bothering for FCS as the car isn't how I want it to be seen at this stage, but naturally get the Brembos on, decat & get it sitting on it's ass.
I also have a clifford concept 650 from my old Saxo somewhere knocking about I may get fitted to this just to stop some little c*** from stealing my audio. I've already had some muggy brat steal my dust caps off my drive. They sure picked their time as I'm always up and always knocking around. f****rs.
Anyway! enjoy better pics when I have time :).
