Annoying clicking noise from front wheels

As per above. Annoying clicking noise from front wheel area. Did it on old brakes and now just had new brakes all round and it still does it.
Although the nuts, bolts and metal slider bits weren't changed. Going to do that next.
Any other ideas or anyone experienced this?
Need this resolved as it's quite loud and irritating

Wheel spacers?? Might need a clean on the spacer to hub interface area as even a little dirt came make them uneven.

Mine started also after a few laps on the ring. Only hear it at low speed. Thought it might be cv joints?

It does it all the time. When I start out it hardly does it. Then after a mile it's doing it constantly.

Mine happens when driving straight, slightly worse when turning left and disappears when turning right. Are CV joints a known issue? I haven't heard of it on these cars before.

That is typical of a CV Joint (Outer)

It is. Anyone know what sort of cost this is to have repaired? I assume people tend to do both at the same time.
