    Techie type question, how many pots (not the kitchen variety :I) do your brembo's have :question:
    Reason for asking is, if they have 10, then be prepared for contsant bleeding of the system :(
    But, still very very nice

    Yeah, I read about this whilst undertaking my research and I had a conversation with the mechanic before ordering - so we've avoided that mistake - going with 6 pots but thanks for the heads up!

    Ok, so far guys from your opinions/advice and my resarch these are on the list:

    Rims: Either 18" Oz Mons or 18" Technomagnesia F1 Detroit - I agree with you ScottieC, alloys are a very a very personal choice, just wanted some guidance!
    Tyres: Sticking with the Yokos - Only 2 new needed as vought 2 in August
    Brakes: AP racing Calipers kit/red pads
    Suspension: To be decided...red springs tho.
    Color Coding: plastic trims to be sprayed black.

    ...Winnie will be looking F.I.N.E by Christmas 04.

    Well guys, I'm cashed up and ready to go = All I need to know now, is where to buy from!?!?

    Saturday is the day - mainly because my front tyres wont stay inflated - that Winnie is getting her new mods fitted :

    Tyres: Yoko 539's

    Rims: Breyton Magic Racing 18" w/stainless lip


    Brakes: Brembo Gran Turismo Brake Kit - red calipers- and slotted rear rotors



    Merry Christmas to Meeee - and probably every Christmas for the next decade! :(
    Nenah,

    Excellent choice we had these on our Z3. They have a deep dish and look really really good.

    Thanks Scottie - I owned a Z3 too before I bought my mini. here's hoping they'll look good - so hard to tell before you have them fitted.

    Cheers

    No need to worry you've made a good choice.

    They look really good on.

    Cheers for the reassurance - went with the s/steel lip which should stop me bashing this set square - like my current ones!
