Finished Work & Goodies Arrived
Well just finished painting the chrome surrounds on new black matte grills. The chrome part clips off quite easily, then sanded back, sprayed one coat of plastic primer and then 4 coats matte black. Quite surprised the colour match was perfect.
And my ceramic compound brake low dust pads arrived also from Carbotech. The rear pads were available but the front pads are hard to get. The current X5's runs a new front rotor (348mm x 30mm) so the front after markets pads are not on the market as yet.
Carbotech could not get the front pad blanks to bond there compound too so I had to buy a new OEM set from a BMW dealer, Carbotech could then remove the BMW pad material and use the blanks. Expensive way of doing it I know!
