Hi

Got my ute back on xmas eve from Monkfish with new bonnet & AP brakes! Here are a couple of 'before and after' pictures. Still bedding the brakes in but they look great and so does the new bonnet. Got an old one for sale now if anyones interested...

Thanks Monkfish!

i don't tow anything but keep it on there as a kind of rear bumper saver!

and I recommend the brakes to anyone thinking of getting some. They look great and I'm sure they'll be stopping me real good when they're bedded in.

So is the AP brake upgrade that people have done the fronts and backs ?? I thought the price quoted was only for the fronts.

If its the lot then it ain't that bad !!

the price you see from most companies is for the full set - new discs & calipers all round. I was due to replace both front discs anyway and thought it would be a good time to upgrade...nice to have a few days off over xmas to drive her with the new bits fitted.

Undersealing next, and the gradual completion of 'project stereo' which has given me many a headache already.
