Either mountune yellow or citrus green, whicher you choose I recommend adding little accents of it elsewhere something that compliments the body colour.

The squeak could be just the fluid needs topping up as the pass have worn down a bit the travel distance is greater so the sump level drops a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Yellow sounds good but I don't know if black would go with the rear spoiler, bonnet lip and front grill? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, I suppose body colour may be best then smooth finish hammerite on the spacer section of the brake discs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or gear box oil with the cv? As fluids leaked from the split in the rubber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangoDaz Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 May go for braided hoses as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There on eBay differen set for rear drums as there is for all calipers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commencal24 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Stubby aerial fitted. absolute nightmares to get the oem one off ended up getting Stanley knife to the rubber out the bottom and peeling away at the rubber so I could get grips on the metal section to unscrew it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
