About £40 I think, one bottle should do you thou as it should last year's when applied correctly

I got and used both the gtechniq and gyeon trim restorer on my old plastic covered Peugeot and both worked well and lasted ages. I would recommend either

Oh god that needs cleaning haha joke... Who does that...

 

[ash_89]

Ahh i have with mine ive since adjusted it slightly so hopefully now its not as bad .

Whilst I was checking over the car. I used the brake thickness tester on the front pads. Twice. Then went and got a ruler because I didn't believe it. But tis true. My front pads are down to 7mm after 5000 miles.

Can't remember if they started at 17 or 22mm. But either way I expected more than that from em. Wonder if it's the slotted discs that cheese grated them?

what pads have you got jon ?

I stand corrected. Ecp reckon they start at 16mm. They are Pagid, off the 2.5l Audi TT. Hopefully they've worn so quick because of the bedding in material. Guess I'll see how quick the next 4mm goes. On the bright side they are only 40ish a set.

I'm still on my OEM set of pads from a SEAT garage which went on in October 2017 lol done 10k on them so far the garage said they still have plenty left.

Yeah. Same with my OEMs. But then again OEM seem to start much thicker as well. Guess it's cause of the toaster like design.

Yeah the dust is insane. Everyone thinks my wheels are anthracite. But they are actually bronze. Yeah, stage 2+ with the DB9 calipers.

 

[Legojon]

Good news, two brand new rear callipers! Woo!

Let’s all chip in so @Legojon can have this.

I’d love to see how many miles from a tank of V Power that engine would give

 

[Jimbobcook]

I'm up for making this happen lol lets start another Paypal fund me page haha

Just out of curiosity how much would this actually cost lol

Haha, I'm up for that!! Will it be like Doms car from fast n furious?

I'm wondering exactly that. LOL. And also worrying about turbo lag. Maybe for my third mid-life crisis... which I don't feel is that far away.

As this is being paid for by the team (where did they all go)

Option 1 - Supercharger instead of Turbo Charger
Option 2 - Get yourself some ALS systems

• 2.1 Throttle bypass, or throttle kick ALS
• 2.2 Secondary air injection, or inlet bypass - Pretty sure this engine has this fitted.
• 2.3 Turbo and intercooler bypass (D-valve)
