My FULL FAT R/B 197, is now sold,

[chappo]

today was the day when i got the disks, pads, and lines fitted, and i must say what a glorious day it was, ( im a bit red ), lol

BIG thanks to rich for fitting them all for me, :jase2:

took the car out for a quick drive and i must say they do feel alot better already, but have got to take it easy for a good few miles to bed them in, (cant wait untill they are).







a couple of the rears as well,





and while the wheels were off that gave me a good chance to give them a good clean and seal as well,





and a couple fitted not great tbh as the sun was so bleading bright lol,








thanks for looking guys,

Look good chappo

Is that HEL lines you went for ?
If they are, did you have any issues turning from lock to lock with the line being close to the inside of the wheel ?

Mine had to be tie wrapped down.

cheers Mark,

no mate they were fine, there was a note that was put in the box to say that use the original bracket thingy, maybe that keeps them in place, ? ( as you can see in the first pic )

they didnt look that long at all to me when they were fitted tbh, :thumbup1:

[chappo]

you could call this a tiny update lol,

been meaning to do this for a while tbh, got the old touch up sticks out and decided to colour code the washer jets,

i think it finishes the bonnet off quite well, also well pleased with the results from the touch up sticks great colour match. ( as they should be of course ).

and after pics,

Nice little touch mate!

Encounter any problems with the nozzles after paint? Are they still adjustable?
