Brake Disc Dust
Discussion
Brake dust is a common issue with alot vehicles ... and quite annoying one ... so I sympathize and empathize.
You may find some use of generic dust covers ... that can cover the caliper and pad to keep dust from being so wide spread.
Also, I have no idea what pads you are using. Many aftermarket companies make many different size pads.
To name some of many ...
Axxis, Hawk, Endless, Porterfield ... bleh .. I forget.
Managing heat properly is key too. Different pads have different wear and dust characteristsics and heat temp efficiency ranges etc.
Heat is a good thing to have for braking to a certain extent ... depending on your specific brake setup for rotors/caliper/pads/sweeping area etc ... but it still needs to be manged to stay in an efficient ranges. It needs to be just right .. not too hot or too cold.
Good synthetic break fluid and stainless steel braded lines can help manage heat and pad and rotor wear and breaking efficiency.
It really depends on what extent you want to take it to ... and what extent is available .. and the current setup of the brake system .. which I know little about for the NOble ... except for ~13inch rotor and 4 piston caliper.
You may find a better combo or maybe you'll find that you need to manage with the brake dust.
Good luck and HTH.

Any tips how best to avoid or get rid of pad dust which accumulates in holes in ventilated discs? - causes potential overheating and brake judder.
Prodding with bit of wire is my only solution so far.

Compressor (with goggles and mask on) maybe? Not noticed that problem on mine (says Phil making a mental note to look when he gets home).
