Thanks guys any help would be appreaciated ta, !

Mintex discs and pads is a good choice.

Hammerite smooth green is pretty much an exact match but is hard to get hold of. Have a look in the car parts for sale section.

Just a thin paintbrush is needed.

The aerial does come out. Unwind it all the way, let it fall to the roof then give it a good tug, it will come out it's just an anti theft aerial.

Cheers mate, so you reckon Mintex all round Pads and Disks is a good choice then, they a reasonable price are they?

and Ill try and get hold of some hammerite then!,

You could get mintex discs and pads all round for £106 on eBay

Have you thought about upgrading to 312mm brakes?

If you have somewhere local that can mix paint for you 'Pantone 348' is the exact colour of the caliper paint.
