Soon bro, soon.
The discs n EBC Redstuff pads are getting fitted today and the brake fluid is being changed too
The weathers getting better so it'll be time for pics very soon.
Although I'm gonna be embarrassed by the horrible looking calipers until I get time to clean n paint them.

Jim, I just wanted to see if the rotors you got were coated at all...clear?

The reason I ask is that you are doing some good preventative coating on the hat and edges (cooling fins) but wanted to let you knowt that the drilled/cross-cut rotors on my jeep also corroded inside these grooves and holes. If you really want to be thorough, perhaps 'painting' in these holes n grooves with some clear high-heat coating, you'll save them as well.

just a thought...while you're waiting for your pads.

Jeeeesh, n I thought I was being thorough[&:]
Nice oneon the tip h20, much appreciated. Although they have been fitted as of today so its too late anyway now I guess.
Just as a side not the EBC Redstuff pads turned out to be wrong for the rear of the Mondeo and I'll need to change them. All the discs and front pads all fitted n working fine though.

I took a picture...this is after many thousands of miles in a decent climate. (Always garaged too)

Exhibit A for the courts consideration...


Please, no jabs about the filthy nature of the wheels/tires/general vehicle. Jag takes precedence in the cleaning pecking order around here.

Can you do a couple a day, after they're on, just pull a wheel off, take your brush and fill in the holes and slots. lol sounded funny typing that.
