A bit of advice from the wise needed here. I have received the grooved discs and green stuff pads from red motegi yesterday. But before i fit them i am going to paint the carrier, callipers and back plates. Now i am increasingly liking the green on the pads, so would it be wrong to paint them in a similar green?

red is common. Black is bland. Or should i go with my original idea of painting it all the same colour as the wheels? Ford polaris grey. With some sparkle lacquer.

I wouldn't bother with sparkle lacquer or anything fancy

those caliper will be covered in a few months.

do a few coates of paint of whatever you chose, but I like the sound of green.

Green FTW out of those choices.
It works well with black too and although it doesn't match the red in the bay, green and red are great contrasting colours (just ask John Constable)

i couldnt find a green suitable so went for the free option, black paint from work.

before with the heavily grooved and abused discs.

and after, with the new properly grooved discs and ebc green stuff pads from @red motegi. many thanks bud.

little bit of surface rust, but that's gone now though

Ouch! They certainly were grooved before!!!

Noticed anything different about the braking?

sharper, but as bedding them in, i couldnt give it too much stop pedal.

looks good sam
i like the ford sparkle grey on the alloys
i didnt like the green stuff pads when i used them -was long time ago when they first came out - actually it might have been on the civic vti before i had the lude all i remember is loads of grey dust - mind u they might have improved them since then
