Put some C6 calipers and disks on there. I'll have to see what's involved. /fires up CAD....

What's the ETA on your disks then? Can't be more than a couple of days surely?

Sorry, by trusted I meant MRC.

Perhaps worth giving them a call and see why they opted to use pads that squeal in the 380mm upgrade kit.

Thanks, I have spammed Ben at MRC to get confirmation regarding if it is when combined with the PF pads or not. Shopp, based on the delay I told them to put the hold on order while I decided whether or not to tart.

Right, so while I did buy a full works LED kit from Trups and used a few of the lights, I felt that I was cheating and compromising, which I didn't do with the 6 lighting. So, I set about doing my usual door light butchering and experimenting with stupidly bright interior lights. I made a few different modifications to the lights as I refined how I wanted to do them, as the assembly picture below shows.

Anyhoo, I give you Mr Footlong's RidonkuBright™ lighting system:

6 LED red lights in the red holders, 8 LED lights in the clears, 9 LED clears in the interior lighting (they were out of my usual 6 LED ones so I tried these for a laugh, bit too much). I have retained the mini LED lights from Trups inside and have used the boot one too. I haven't fitted the headlight ones from him yet, not sure when I will get around to that atm.

Off to the tinters tomorrow :D

Perfect for a bit of dogging. Before the tints obviously.

That's awesome! Really like the super bright red door lights.

Would defo make avoiding dogs when dogging a lot easier.

Good stuff :)

The 380's don't offer that much of an improvement IMO mate stock are fine. Once you supercharge start looking at other options
