Well, it might not go, but should it do so, it should stop now.
Picked up the discs and rear pad fitting kit this morning, had a brew and broke out the spanners.
The fronts were ugly. The pics say it all really but once I had the disc off, the inside edge was even worse. Definitely the right time for new....

The inside face of the front disc. Lucky if there's been 50% contact.

New gear fitted all round, front and rear but not before I periodically had to drain the reservoir of fluid. Usual thing....don't bother replacing the pads, just top the fluid up.....![Rolleyes Rolleyes](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)

Anyway, the new stuff went on with no issues (right size discs this time) other than having to drill out a couple of disc retaining screws and looks much better. Oddly, my car doesn't have the wiring for the brake pad wear sensor, yet the one I broke, which was built two months before my silver one, did.....odd. Pair of scissors made light work of the sensor wiring.

I then trial fitted one of the carbon bits I'd done.

I think it looks alright actually!
