List of spends (approx ish)

Recon callipers £400 (1st couple of companies couldnt do inc AP)
Paint callipers £150.00 ( £100 to a mate and £40 to local sign writer)
Hoses £70 + £60 on first set that didnt fit
Disks all round £850
New pads all round £400
& 7/8 months sorting / headache
It would have been easy if AP could do a full refurb but they said they were unrepairable and they dont offer a re paint service

Shocking!!

Bloody eBay I guess was it!?

I've bought a couple of second hand brake kits in the past, first one wasn't that good and I sold it on, second lot I bought off a mate, they worked great on his car but weren't as good when fitted to mine so wasn't best pleased!

It's all well and good going second hand on things but I've been had too many times now, turbo's, brakes, interior parts, people are c*nts! You just can't trust them so I wait and buy new now!
