yes fitted the mintex brakes,im becoming very quick at doing them,under an hour had them changed and painted.
Think I am gonna get me some mintex extreme's. My mechanic will only charge £20 to change the brakes so he can do it when they need changing.
I have decided to get the wheels balanced just incase the weights have not been knocked off. Its only gonna costs me £15 for the lot so may as well get it done now."He's a maniac, maniac that's for sure,

get the wheels off and diy it. have you got a haynes? then you can clean off all the rust and paint them nice too so they set off your new wheels, my pet hate is nice wheels and rusty drums or calipers, theres no need.Think I am gonna get me some mintex extreme's.

thats looking great,but your right about the handles, they need coding! what year is it? it looks in very good condition.
ive just found the first spot of rust starting on mine its right under the near side door mirror where it meets the window ledge,it looks a bit time consuming to get fixed properly. need to call in some favours from a painter and get the other few chips dealt with too....work permit granted!0 -

Its a 2002 reg mate. Not seen any rust yet mate.
Just taken the car out for a ride and the tyres are loud...think they are BCT8000s.
I am seriously thinking of getting some more Avon ZZ3s... have to put my music on quite loud to drown out the sound!!"He's a maniac, maniac that's for sure,
