 Nope.  It's mechanical rather than cosmetic.

Seeing as this thread is titled 'You are doing it right!', I thought I'd get up this morning and have a good old fashioned Sunday morning blast.  It's not exactly a modification post but thought it might come under doing things correctly.  I covered just under 90 miles before most people were even out of bed and saw some amazing scenery.  We're lucky enough to live near some of the roads that Evo mag use for their road and group tests - the ones you see with no other cars on them. I figured what's the point of having a decent car and not using it apart from going to work & back? 

 

Anyway, here are three photos I took along the way.

Front caliper looks different, is it that??

[skinnyman]

Yep. I had to have a new one fitted very quickly due to work commitments & the only one they could get that day was silver.  I guess it gives me an excuse to paint the others now.

Hi all, 

 

I've not actually posted a photo of my car on here since I bought it nearly 3 years ago. So here it is!

Parked up in the Austrian Alps whilst down at worthsee, the views are amazing.
