| The point is that they look cool, brake a tad better - not that I’ll really be testing them very often, will add a small amount to the value when I sell and for the cost of them, it was a no-brainer ... |

Brakes arrived today and pleasingly are 4 pot Brembos, so should bolt straight on once rebuilt.
They need a good soda blasting initially to get them cleaned up and then it’ll be paint and pistons ... |

| It’s definitely NOT the oven trick ! Ignore any vids etc which tell you to put MY2010 - 2013 headlights in the oven. The later facelift (andL322) lights use something similar to windscreen rubber, w ... |

Found one - good old Powerful.
Anyone done this to theirs ? I’m assuming it’s the old oven trick. |

Are there any replacement lenses available for the MY2010 ? Managed to crunch my front wing and it’s cracked the headlight lens.
I replaced my old 4.2 which was easy, but can’t see anything fo ... |

I’m cleaning up a used plenum plus ancillaries, so that I can do a plug and play and not spend ages with the car off the road, whilst I scrub all the gunk out.
The elbows all look to be in good c ... |

| Yep - same as yours. The chrome pistons are rubbish and flake. Surprised BREMBO use them at all. |

| Ah - thought they would be, but couldn’t find anything online that showed a different pad depending on the caliper. |

| Great - thanks for clarifying. So it looks like I’ll be getting 4 pots and they’ll work with my existing 360mm discs and existing D4 pads, both of which have approx 1,000 miles on them. |

| So in theory a 2009 TDV8 with Brembos will have 6 pots ? |

| Perfect - thanks Col. I’d need new pads anyway with the Brembos, even if they are 4 pot ? |

Thanks Mikey - how does that affect mounting ? Are carriers needed for fitting the 4 pots on a MY 10 ?
Not sure what will arrive in the post, but sounds like they may be 6 pots from your comment. ... |
