They weren't cheap, but I needed new discs and pads all round and that was a fair chunk of change so I just went full send 
It's amusing to see the idrive brake status, they currently need replacing in 150,000 miles
I have to say, they are fairly epic, the vert is a heavy car and whilst the standard brakes aren't bad, it thrives on CCBs

Oh yes oh yes! Awaiting pics.
Sure? Cos one looks clear, and the other looks tinted yellow.
No it's clear, it's just the angle of the sun bouncing off a weather balloon in the photo

Plucked up the courage to upgrade the head unit ECU in my Mini Clubman to the latest version so I could finally get full screen CarPlay patched in. Longest 90 minutes of my life. Worth it though, makes far better use of that lovely large screen.

They need UV protection as well otherwise they go cloudy again quite quickly.
Yeah, they've had a headlight specific clearcoat applied to them now. Lights on it are a piece of cake as they pop out in seconds.
Use the 3m kit?

Swapping fibreglass wings on the M3 as these ones are 15mm wider which should help avoid any rubbing on track.
Not cut fibreglass before but I know what the fibres are like for getting stuck everywhere. Need a hazmat suit and to dust sheet everything

Cut it wet. Ideally you don't even want it travelling away from the work/airborne. It's not the end of the world for a little cut here and there but my experience has been 10cm strips, and I've had a couple of annoying shardsSwapping fibreglass wings on the M3 as these ones are 15mm wider which should help avoid any rubbing on track.

Ah I didn't know it could be cut wet. I think I'm going to do it in a room where I can dustsheet the whole area like I'm planning on killing someone

Wear a mask, they are everywhere at the moment
Took my 10yr old Focus in for MOT -Passed again with same advisory - Got a tint sun strip across top of screen - for the wife and myself who are a massive 5ft 6" in height it's fine - but Mechanic is 6ft 2" - I think he just does it for a laf.
One of the drop link I replaced 2 yrs ago has play in it but he didn't condemn it.

This inspired me to do mine today, which i've been putting off doing for a while - and they look so much better. I'd done them before but they needed doing again. Only needed a 1500 grit, 2000 grit then 3000 grit. Followed by polish on compound pad, then finishing pad. Took about 2 hours for both - well worth it.
