That's a HOT colour. Kermit the Frog-like, but in a good no-homo way. :D

 

Nice work Mark. What do you do for work (I can't remember whether I've asked you this already or not)?

 

Im an instro/elec, breakdown work in high speed packaging for Carlton United Breweries. Plenty of spare time between breakdowns. ;)

 

They look sick!

 

When I finally get some brakes, I will get you to paint them up, then I can keep them on my desk and stare at them for years until I put them on my car :D

 

PM me Ash if your keen on some fronts with a twist......

 

Id fit them once finished as I know you'd never get around to it. :P

Hahaha cheers


As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
 
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?

The paint job, yes. But the standard style callipers just don't look as good as the 4 pot style ones!

I might have to ship some down, when I get my new brakes :D


I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

No point replacing perfectly good brakes for ones that look better though :)

 

How do you know if the callipers need a seal kit put through them?

Nice. No wonder you can perfect these brakes the way you do.


Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Can you hook a brother up? Please contact me now. I have cash ready.

Bit expensive haha. Cheaper to get just the calipers here..

That's a shame because I've narrowed my colour down to either Nike Volt with black brembo decal or colour matched to my car with red brembo decals
