The bronze painted calipers pop. Going to look great against the DBP paintwork and BBS CH's. Did the idea come from the gold/bronze carbon ceramic discs on the AMG's?

Just a touch of class.

Came from the new R35 GTR actually, they run virtually the same colour and I saw it under the blue and pondered the thought. Bit the bullet and did it, quite chuffed with how it turned out.

System has been bled, so getting the kms on the pads & rotors now to bed them in

one of the retaining clips popped out this morning, got to it before it completely fell off though.

Anything new? I'm still quite eager to see a side shot of the brakes

Certainly does look fantastic in the R35 GTR brake caliper colour Corey. Any feedback/review on the Racing Brake 2 Piece rotors?

I like the OEM+ look about this car

^^ Thanks Robbie!

I only have these 2 crappy phone pics which have been molested by instagram. They don't do the colours justice but I guess it gives you the idea of how it looks :S

I also fitted up some bling bits from Jcaps, still yet to fit the powersteering fluid cap.

The rotors & pads are pretty much bedded in now but I haven't had the chance to put them through their paces. Pedal feel is definitely smoother and more consistant with applied pressures. The Hawk Ceramics take a little to warm up but once they are, they bite well.

Got a little spoilt over the weekend for my birthday.. My girlfriend bought me a set of Thule racks & bike mount.

Looking excellent Corey. And well done to Sally on the roof racks

how was fitting braided lines? was it easy? did anything need to be rethreaded, or did you find a kit that went straight in?
the new calipers look awesome!

Thanks mate,

I bought the lines from USP Motorsport from the U.S. the lines are a straight fit and there were no threading issues. The threaded lengths are longer than the OEM lines, so it is a little deceiving at first as you'll think they're not all the way in.
