No the Clubsport ones are not sided. In hindsight, I could have ordered the MTEC's to match but only thought of that after I'd got them. My set up is about aesthetics and cleanliness (the EBC Reds are low dust) rather than performance as I'm (currently) stock power (still under warranty).

Snap! I just fitted the CS front discs, EBC Redstuff pads (up to 90% less brake dust) and the PP caliper covers. Fitted drilled MTEC rears to match the fronts.

I've just fitted Clubsport fronts, MTEC drilled rears, EBC Redstuff pads and PP Caliper covers last night. Not bedded yet but very happy with the quality and fitment. If ordering again I would have specified two off side disc from MTEC to match the drilled spiralling of the CS discs.

Has anyone heard of Godspeed? They look really nice and if you look at their FB page they seem to mainly refurbish callipers to a very high standard. Spoke to the guy there today and he said he import blanks from Germany, machines and paints them here. They seem to look like great quality, good value, what's not to like? I might give them a punt. They also sell Ferodo pads pretty cheap. I'm either going for these or Clubsport fronts but I'm struggling to find a decent rear disc to match.

Casio? You can get one with a calculator on it too!😂

Are you sure that's not my car? 😂Welcome, once you go (all) black, you never go back!

Digging up an old thread! For me it'd be my little Karcher with AG Polar Blast snow foam Maguiers synthetic mitts (only Mag item I use) with a bucket of Chem Guys Citrus Shampoo G3 Clay mitt with Them Guys Clay Lube DAS6 with Chem Guys Hexlogic Quantum pads with V36 cutting polish Muc-Off Uber car Wax @Booth11 I use a California Water blade, silicon so super supple and flex. As long as its wet and you give it a wipe after every pass, it's as good as a good towel at removing water IMO.

Cheers Dave, have you had to upgrade the brakes on that? If stage 1 (as above with Maverick) is 387horses, I'm wondering if all the extra hardware is worth the minimal gains? Cheers for your thoughts on this chaps.

Cheers Maverick, you know what I mean though that Revo seem to have lost their market position? When I had my MK6, Revo was THE company and now it just seems like they are off the radar. I guess more companies just entered the remapping game.

Had my MY17 7.5 for nearly a month and have been reading up on maps. Seems Revo have dropped off the map somewhat (excuse the pun), all I read about is APR, Unicorn and MRC. I had a MK6 GTI when they first came out and Revo borrowed it to develop the map for that model and it really blew me away. How are they considered now? Anyone on here running a Revo remap on their 7.5? Thoughts? Cheers

Yes mate, loving it thanks.

Apparently a few people try to buy it after I'd put the deposit down. The Headline spec was cloth interior with Cadiz, no mention of Dynaudio and no images on the listing on the VW used site. Leather, Pretorias and Dynaudio were listed in the options spec so I think this was priced at the headline spec as it was really well priced for what its got. It's a lovely car but my experience of Inchcape has been poor to be honest. On the way home the ACC light came on and the cruise wasn't working. I've just had it in with the local dealer in Poole who has rectified the issue (ACC camera had popped out of the housing) and so far I'm waiting on Inchcape to refund me £270. They are trying to make it good but they fall well short of my expectations to be honest. Sorry to hear yours has a gearbox issue, there's so many about though, I'm sure you'll find the right one. I'm really happy with mine, especially now it has black Prets with PS4S tyres on.

Too late...it's gone to the dark side!

Loving these A35's, might be my next car.... Both colours fantastic chaps!

You can easily get it inside with the front wheel off, failing that you have rear or roof mounted options. Just remember if you still want to drive enthusiastically then you'll have to be careful. If you want something very cool: https://www.seasucker.com/collections/bike

Looks amazing Rob! Very impressed with that, post up a link of whatever Merc forum you end up on so we can follow the progress! Clive

Be careful as the prices can be inflated then discounted on Eurocarparts. Google the part before you hit buy just in case.

Having spent a week or so with the car, the gerarbox is mint, way better than any other auto I've used.

The Hexlogic Quantum is the one, it's got a hollow centre where polish/compound normally builds up. I think they wash them with a bucket of sand and a broom!

Yeah, WHEN it's clean which is for about a day after you spend all this time on it! But for that amount of time, it's jaw dropingly awesome...

cheers, we can but try!

I use Chemical Guys Hexlogic Quantum (with the hole in the middle) and find they work really well, best pad I've ever used. I used a mixture of the Orange or green pads depending on the panel and correction needed. I didn't use a compound, I used Chemical Guys VR36 which is a cutting polish which I find not too abrasive. Maybe I should have used something with a bit more cut, but better not to go too deep on the first polish. Cheers Rob.

Need to sort those rear discs our though!

Barbers at 8, dog walk down the beach after that, rest of the day was clean, clean, clean!

Definitely my favourite combo, the black on black! Needs another pass on another day, maybe with a different pad but its much, much better.
