Lol, yep, calipers painted, new discs and pads, wheels refinished in anthracite, full set of Vredstein tyres. ;)

All done in just one week. ;)

Just the 6yr/60k service to do in June now.

Also got a new set of rear discs and pads on order to really finish it off for a bit. ;)

Precisely. :)

Shouldn't need much doing for a while at least.

Hawks were £120 or thereabouts mate. Got them when I was in New Jersey a couple of months ago. ;)

I'll chase Hawk again tomorrow for an update on the rears as well.

Going for the Porterfield fast road pads for now though. :)

Should do the trick.

That's on the rears by the way. Running the Hawk ceramics up front.

Very impressed with the feel and bite so far. They feel better than the OEM pads in my opinion. Also generating less brake dust, which was my main reason to buy them.

Hi peter, car looks good!

Be interested to know the paint code you used on the wheels as mine need refurbing but no one seems to know the paint code. Tried the Lexus dealer but the paint code supplied by them the refurbing company are have trouble replicating apparently.

Cant believe its so hard to find........

[Peter P18]

Thanks Steve. :)

The alloys were re-finished in the companies dark anthracite. I think they look OEM though.

Another good reason to get a few together I can compare mine with! ;)

The company are called Rimtec, and are in Meopham. Takes 3-4 days to do all 4 alloys.

Cost is pretty darn reasonable at £255 for the lot (includes VAT etc).

They are highly recommended by loads of forums, car clubs, magazines....

Couple more pictures I did this morning. :)

alloys, calipers and tires were cleaned/dressed last night. ;)

Just the body to wash/wax this weekend.
