Nice and tidy. I got myself a tyre stand... keeps them all separated nicely.
I replaced pads on a R50 Mini recently and I'm sure that the wear indicator will trip at around 3mm? You're lucky it didn't trip the rears, and luckier still if you managed to get it off. They're so brittle (the sensor)!

Space is at a premium as I've only got a small garden shed, but neat enough - bought the thickest bike lock I could find to lock them all together then threw a sheet over them.kis wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 3:07 pm Nice and tidy. I got myself a tyre stand... keeps them all separated nicely.

Yeah the sensor was the hardest part - fiddly to remove and even more of a pain to reconnect, but Jamie managed

Car looks great Marlon. It’s a real credit to you. I‘ve said before red is my favourite colour. I ‘m not a fan of black wheels usually but with black hardtop they look brilliant.

Thanks guys, yeah, I know what you mean IRD regarding the black wheels - they go better with the black hardtop than silver alloys, cheers

Ooh err - and what a nice rear you have!
Your boot spoiler is a nice touch too - but what's that 3.0 badge doing there?

messing about with uTube Rob - used the 'stabilise' feature that creates a steady shake-free video

Your Zed looks great Colin. I really like its winter 'coat'
I can thoroughly recommend some of this for your tyres : It gives a lovely satin sheen that will set off your shiny wheels and glossy red paint nicely. I use it all the time. No 'fling' up your arches/sills either. Lasts for ages and can be used on any interior or exterior plastics and rubber.

Looks great on yours - how long does it keep the shine cos I've used tyre wall shine in the past (spray on stuff) but its hardly worth applying?
