Dam, the fuel consumption must be bad if you've got to leave it plugged in to the fuel pump with the engine on Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Craig, buddy, are those rears really Brembo? Think that there might be a bit of artistic licence going on there

Yes & No Migget... The rears are also Brembo. Made by TWR for Brembo, if you look closely at rear discs for SC & TDV8 FF’s they are all marked around the bell Brembo sir |

Bloody con, Brembos are supposed to be multi piston cast ally calipers, not cast steel with a sliding caliper Well my TD6 has TWR BMW calipers on it are they Brembo too

No, the fronts were put through the Bodyshop... The rears were just cleaned up to match! That said, the fronts were a spare brand new set and the rears were the originals so, kind of rusty! |

Body shop cheat They have dove a nice job.... thought it looked a little too much like two pack.... if you can be bothered to spend the time then it is possible to get a similar effect with smooth hammerite, but it will take about 5 coats, and you have to do them with in the 3 hour time limit between coats, but you have to wait at least an hour for the last coat to flash off.... Rolls Royce and Bentley engine blocks are done in a similar way... they just keep on piling on the paint and eventually it all flows out and goes smooth, and they start off as a rough casting
