Thanks mate .... yeah the Brembo look-alike was not actually what I was after, but you are right. Maybe I should do the "Nissan" red for shits and giggles.

The paint is VHT SP-736 Gold (I think they only have one gold colour). I have gold Gram Lights 57C rims, so the whole lot having a gold hue is kinda cool.

just a quick question ... had the slotted rotors fitted recently on my GTT and the mofos are already rusting up (surface rust) pretty badly... I realize this is normal, but I was wondering if there's any known safe remedy to slow down or prevent the rusting of the rotors ? Obviously the surface where the pads contact isn't rusty just the rest of it..

well since the area affected is the one not in contact, hardly any method to remove it as it is not getting 'rub' by pads to clear off the surface rust.

having your car parked outside overnight or if your garage is relatively humid, it may increase the speed of the surface rust building up...

Taxi_This, you got pm.

Group Buy 47 orders:

- Evil34 (payment cleared) - please confirm your pads

- Keeffy (waiting for payment to clear)

CLOSING THIS WEDNESDAY!

Quick update for those interested - finally put the rears in (you just have to bash the rotor very hard from the inside with the handbrake off) and ended up doing the "Nissan" red. Photos below.

Rotors are awesome! Thanks a bunch rs73.

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
