I once read a story of a guy who painted his discs red because he'd seen a picture of someone with drums who had painted them red.



LOL Epic Fail

Drums should not be bright colours imo (thats why mine are black)

Cheers chaps! Got some red hammerite from Halfrauds, mates going to come around and do his MK7 aswell!

On the pads front are these any good?

Also seen a Mintex set

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-ST...9#ht_2575wt_907

Surely they can't be any good for that price?

There's a lad in work with a burgundy 1.4 Astra G, black roof, black windows, black 5 spoke wheels, red calipers and bright red drums on the back. It's a hideous thing!

I had Ferodo Pads on my old white one and it felt better breaking than this one as soon as these are shot im 100% getting them again, along with braided hoses.
