So, quick update - had various brake issues.
Didn't look too bad from the front...

Ruined on the back, turned out the inside pad on the passenger side was binding as well as other issues with both the discs and pads.

So changed them...

And now the brakes actually work for the first time since buying it, plus no squealing or binding.
Then yesterday decided to have a detailing day, basically wash, rinse with watering can, clay with G3 mitt, polish with SRP, wax with Nattys paste, windowlene on windows, wheel protector on alloys and endurance gel on tyres. Came out quite well...
