Good advice!
And good thread!
I've rebuilt calipers before so not as daunting as might be had I not! I'll give them a close inspection once off and go from there!
Interesting the low pad warning light went off after fitting the new sensors and didn't need any clever (expensive) plug in kit to clear it
Yep - that’s what proved that the sensors aren’t rocket science. For those miss-reading “warning light went off” think of it as “warning light cleared”. The Frentech kit is good stuff - they know their onions.And good thread!

Love the ski-slope, well done. I'd be interested to know more, esp price. Mine is piano black, and mostly looks crap due to dust, fingerprints and minor scratches. PM if you prefer.
The carbon was done by Michal Pastryk, would be best to ask him on costs. Mine was piano black as well, think its the worse thing invented
Dropped my car off at Auto Panel Craft in Church Crookham for a little paintwork correction on the front fender and a little bit of detailing work.
Would highly recommend them, small independent who does great work.
Good enough in fact that they have an ex Carlos Sainz McLaren F1 cars from 2 seasons ago, in for a total respray in the current livery so it can be taken on tour... Thereafter it will be returned to its original colours for it to either sit in a heritage museum or sold at auction. They are doing two cars and often have McLaren F1 cars in for this work.

Thanks very much
I’m a wheel freak, clean all in the back as well as face with a little brush for round the bolt holes!
On all three vehicles.
I was in close attendance when having the Michelin fitted this week lol.
The blow dryer great for the wheels too.
As for sills,gulp,they’re aftermarket lower trims sort of like the new Vantage and many other cars.
Win win to my eyes because you get the curves of the original shape with just a gloss black line drawn underneath.
I’m sure some won’t like but it’s easily reversed later if required.
