Bank holidays that is...

As we were blessed with great weather all weekend I took the opportunity to do something with the 8 that I've been meaning to do for a while. I removed all wheels in turn, jet washed each wheel arch (filthy!!) and painted the discs and callipers, cleaned and polished the inner wheels....took a good few hours but time well spent +++

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd consider it so? :)

Sorry, have to correct you. It's CDO not OCD, get the letters in the right order PLEASE!

Ah! - but shouldn't that be a hyphen rather than a comma after the OCD TLA in your second sentence Mike? And who's doing the correcting? :D

I really hope that you didn't paint the discs!

You know what I meant Jim, the "non contact" areas then, better? :)

New Pagid discs now come completely painted. The pads wear the paint off the friction surface as they bed in +++

IIRC I put a set of four on Big Red so it'll be interesting to see how they are doing six months on :)
