No I haven't mate.
Barely had any free time this weekend with the whole wheel change and other things on.
Fingers crossed I'll get it on in not too long. Tbh though, my bushes are ruined and I want to order the FARB then get that fitted with the RARB at the same sort of time.
It'll come together soon don't worry
Cool, good to know Sam.
When I got it off Maz I was talking to him about them and he rates them highly.
Looking forward to getting the car feeling like it's on rails over the next couple of months
Just ordered 2 cans of Hammerite smooth red spray, who can guess what's getting done next
Also aiming to get some matt black high temp paint this week for more touching up in the same area......
brembo refurb
Looks like I'm going to be busy
I must learn to think before I type 
We'll do the strutt brace at the same time mate
There I go again It's nice having mate's with nice car's, sometimes they bring them round for me to play with
The plan for the day was;
1) Re furb the Brembo calipers
2) Fit upper rear strutt brace
3) Fit RARB
Unfotunatly someone forgot to bring his locking wheel nut key So whilst Tom went off to get it I made a start on the rear strutt brace
I need to get the bar sitting more central.

Next it was time to do the Brembo's
As you can see they were in a bit of a state.
Started by picking off as much loss lacquire as poss, then sprayed them with Wolf's de-ironiser to dissolve as much brake dust as poss, this was left to soak for 15 min's then jet washed off. the jet wash peeled off even more lacquire.
The surface was then keyed using 120 grit wet & dry sand paper.
Masked up as much of the car as poss and sprayed them with smooth red Hammerite
We also painted the hubs of the disk's matt black
Unfortunatly we did'nt get time to fit the RARB,
Next up, Apply Brembo stickers, freshen up the rear calipers and hubs and hopefully fit the RARB

good work lads, hubs are on my list to do.Cheers for the write up mate 
Going out last night made remembering everything like locking nuts a challenge today!! Lol..
Really happy with how the calipers look. Once the decals are on, rears done and hubs done on there aswell, it'll look mint.
Hopefully have time to get stuck into the RARB aswell.
If I do get my bonus end of this month, I'll be getting the bushes done and knock sensor fixed once and for all.

The calipers look really good what paint did you use? Most people use hammerite but i found it very thin and you have to be careful not to apply too much.
What colour decal are you going for?

You make that Brembo refurb look so easy Darren, makes me want to do mine now! They came out great. Good shout on doing the hubs too.
Car is looking more mint than ever Tom !!
