Liking the look of the NQSBBK although the discs do look small! How is the pedal feel? I fancy a set myself :party:

On the run from Germany quickly got to 35 - 36 the car was fully loaded so didnt mind / expect to see 39 - 40
Need to give the brakes time to bed in, slow speed braking feels good. Think by the time I get back to Germany they'll be feeling better. Might have some fresh fluid flushed through.

In addition, notice any starting issues? or battery running flat?

Using Heavy duty self adhesive velcro from Halfords :happy2: Have added the plastic battery box too. If it ever does move ( I doubt it will!) then the terminals will only have plastic to touch not metal.
No starting issues. The car has had normal daily use and will be untill xmas. When we get back to England and make use of the Lupo Ill get a trrickle charger incase

So far nothing bad to report on the battery. Brakes seem to be biting more after the drive to germany.
Deciding whether I can afford a 3" blueflame DP this month :evilgrin:
Tfsi_Mike:
Well the downpipe wont be going on untill xmas time. The miltek will do. The blueflame DP will be getting wrapped in exhaust tape before fitting.
Eventually replacing the rest of the miltek system with Blueflame or custom 3"
Next thing is 4 coilpacks & alignment in next few weeks.
What will the next savings pot be for....
Carbon bonnet,
Diff,
Or Revo
Im thinking that is my order of preference actually.
