Re: Mada's Purple Fiesta Mk5 - Update 03/04/10
i do like to give it a stroke now and then
Update:
Fitted HID Kit, and i love it
Bought new Front Brakes 280mm ST24 brakes with EBC grooved disks and greenstuff pads at a bargin price.
Also resevered a 260mm Rear Brake upgrade along with a polybrushed rear beam.
Slowly getting ready for a big mod next year hopefully
New Seats will be getting bought next week, got my eyes on two sets atm.
And also waiting delivery of new switches for interior, anyone guess what colour?

Re: Mada's Purple Fiesta Mk5 - Update 23/06/10 - brakes
*cough* f**k me!
slight overkill ont he brakes there mate lol
umm, whats to come of them old cross-drilled and groove discs mate?
if your selling them id be VERY happy to take them off your hands, its perfect timing (they 240mm right? )
my new Si's discs are past it and i was gonna get 260's but these would have the same effect and i can leave my calipers alone
lemme know in a PM mate
loving the sound of a respray, get it properly dewipered at the same time
same colour i presume?
