The brakes are better !! Not really noticed too much difference to be honest. I have only driven about 20 miles so far and have been ultra cautious. The noise of the engine is definitely different, it doesnt seem to sound as "rough". I dont think Jeremy Clarkson has anything to worry about with my car reviews does he?

Nice colour combo! Black wheels work well with the silver.

Is it Arctic Silver?

20 miles? You should hang your head in shame, lol. I do that popping in to town and back, and it's only 4 miles each way

Looks v. nice though, I do like the black wheels, don't work quite so well on Mag Blue, absolutely love them on Saffron though (that'll be my next choice)

You post spurred me into action, been out for another drive today. Loving it apart from the brakes making a horrible noise just as i come to the "stop" position. Its not the actual pads or discs making the noise more like an "air" type of noise. Hopefully it will go once it has been run in more.

New pads?

If you are asking if they are new pads then they are brand new, the car has now done a grand total of 50ish miles.

If you are suggesting that is because they are new pads its not a pads type of noise its like a groaning whilst the car is sort of free wheeling to a stop. If i very lightly touch the pedal it makes the noise, if i take my foot off it stops.

I will lierally "play it by ear" for a few more miles and see how it goes.

Followed the bedding in procedure for them? If you're not sure what it is, look on the SELOC Tech wiki.

I didnt know there was a bedding in procedure, i shall have a look at SELOC.
Thanks.

Just read that piece,it was very good. I havent done that yet but i will. I havent excessively
braked hard or anything like that and the car has been making the noise since i first got in it.

Got it booked in at CN on Thursday as it was no better driving to work this morning. Its weird because it doesnt make the noise when cold, after a few miles it starts groaning. Perhaps it just doesnt want to go to work??
