Arent those the same brakes off the mk6 fiesta that warp for lolz?
No idea. I think they are the same as MK1 Focus brakes which I've done tens of thousands of miles on with no issue. I've never had an issue with warping brakes myself.

Why oh why?
The single worst quality paint for longevity ever, as well as being flat red. Why not just leave it blue?
Many reasons.
The paintwork is rubbish and I don't like the colour.
I like KAs in solid red.
Flame red is cheap to buy.
Flame red has no laquer.
Any blemishes can be sanded back, touched in with an airbrush, flatted back and polished up for an easy repair.
Any repairs can be done very cheap for the same reasons as above.
Flame red only goes pink if it's neglected. A light polish with something like Autoglym Super Resin a few times a year will stop it oxidising. Even if it does go pink a light polish will bring it back to life! I've rescued a fair few pink Vauchalls over the years.
