Tasty! I guess pad-wise you're never going to find a perfect compromise between cold perf and track perf. Why not run the blues and just pootle for a while when they're cold?

Its more when im sprinting im worried, the car will sit for 10mins then do 3 laps, so wont be properly effective until the last lap. But i really need to bed brakes, next decent weekend morning im out at 6 bedding brakes!!

more pics taken today... sorry forgot to close the bonnet :-( note matte grills, wheels have now been polished with rimwax,

I'm liking the gunmetal CSL finish. I might have to try that next time mine are due a refurb!

Do the 18" wheels fit those brakes or are you using the CSLs for all track/road work?

Ha, just goes to show... I contacted Beedub about the colour of his wheels before getting mine done. It's clearly a sign you should go for it.

I use the csls for trackwork, considering how close the caliper is to the wheel..... I dont think youd want to run 18s, i cant stick my finger between the gap!!

They look bloody brilliant!!

I saw when you bought them and thought alot of cash, but they look sooo good behind those CSLs.

 

[Beedub]

cheers guys, im pretty chuffed with it all to be honest.......

I like the Corrado G60 Supercharged badge! Fits the M badge remarkably well

370mm up front with 6pots, rear is 328mm with 4pots, im using pagid blue pads, have you done your install yet? doing it yourself?? if you need any tips ask away.... as you can see i did this on my drive, dont paysomeone to do this, its long winded but very worthwhile and satisfying.

look 6 pics from the bottom, see how close the wheel weight is in relation to the caliper...... i really should get some slim line ones or move them.

 

[Beedub]

are you aware you will need to space your wheel to get this calipers to clear the spokes??

 

[GAZA62]

The cars all lined up like that outside the garages looks like a pitlane

Re your car looks superb and that engine bay is MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Wondermike]

It's a nice touch! I didn't think you could get those badges anymore, thought VW discontinued them? Had a work colleague years back who had uprated his supercharger on his Corrado and chopped up the badge so it read 'charged up'!

Oh, and loving the immaculate engine bay!

SPACE?? Ok You've got me really worried, not fitted them yet and dont really know what questions to ask? I think these were the same D2's you were looking at, from skelts

Defo up for trying to fit them thou

Looks great ! , even the engine compartment is immaculate, it looks amazing, the finnish on the alloy components is fantastic, how do you get such a finnish ?

if you mean on the engine, i.e how do i polish it to shine like that, i use a toothbrush with auto sol, then some good old elbow greece.

Thanks for the tip Beedup, the wifes in newyork this weekend , so Ill give my true love some tlc , with a bit of autsol an a tooth brush ,
