About 3 hours? Was having stop gaps, and I got hungry  It seems to take so much longer to do compared to my Fiesta, I know it's bigger but I could wash & polish my car in an hour if I really wanted too, it just wouldn't be possible with this, too big and too many lines!

As Rich said lol. I wasn't sure if it'd be any good as I originally bought it for my Fiesta which was grey, but the reviews said it worked really well on red, which is has

if they weren't silly tax/mpg i'd have one. the looks have aged really well.
The more I drive it slowly the more it's not actually that bad, I guess my idea of driving sensibly was still a bit too harsh but I'm getting used to not coming on boost if I just feel like poodling. Having said that, I so rarely drive it that it doesn't bother me, if it was my daily driver it might annoy me a bit more

What camera do you use btw?  Those pics are incredibly sharp.
Cheers  It's just a Canon 400D, I'm expecting it to break on me soon, I bought it 2nd hand like 3 years ago and it hasn't gone wrong yet!

pop a picture of of when u had it standard....... cos looks really nice now as it is :-)
This is how I bought it....
Not really done that much that you can see visually, just lower profile tyres & the coilovers, just seems to have made alot of difference as people like it alot more than when I first bought it!

Not straight off the camera, it needed sharpening and the colours tweaked as the dark wheels don't come out well in the dusk, here's both pics together one with tweaking and the one straight off the cam so you'll see what I mean
Oh & I managed to do this tonight

Looks stunning mate
Amazing how much of a difference the height of a car makes to how it looks.
Really good red colour on these. Always looks bright and doesnt fade like vauxhall and honda reds.
Bloody good pics too, love the ones of it as at dusk with the lights on

They were warped after Combe, but this seems to have straightened them out again make sense of that The Ferodos are too hard for the standard disc, so they glow really easily!
Cheers Gav, yeah I have always been a bit 'it looks ok from some angles but not others' but I love it now, can't believe how much difference it makes and loads of people have changed their mind aswell now as they weren't sure on it before
Haha Ben, wasn't at Lakeside

Crappy iPhone pic! They didn't quite pick up just how glowing they were, but it gives a good idea, I've never seen any car do all 4 discs the way mine did last night, mental!

He must have got a good launch! I only managed a 14.7 but I'm not very good at launching

Looks like my discs after I went mental at the Ring.
Sabine's fault, I went out straight after going round with her, which was kinda inspiring

Makes sense to me! Its just how metal works pal, heat bends them, but when applied in the right places straighten things

I'm glad someone else thinks like me, even though some mechanic friends thinks there is no way that's possible They're still ever so slightly warped obviously, but before they would shudder so bad the headlights would shake unless you were braking hard!
Thanks guys, all much appreciated
