They don’t fully stay black mate it’s just an anti corrosion coating. So anywhere the pad touches will wear to silver. All the edges and hub should though.
I bought the matching rear black disks too

Come on now stop being silly, no need to sell. You love the hassle of having to clean and buff the car, it’s your lifes intention, otherwise what else do we have🤣🤣🤣🤣So washdown and out with superswirl bottles of Poorboy's, lifted the black n grime out the scratches on the plastic arches...phew! The 0anel got a going and thank f for white, I've lifted majority but you see a oddity in the reflection but no scratches now visible in sunlight anyways.
Bottom of arch n skirt touched up with CW pen and black high gloss for the skirt damage.

Cut to short, just required it a little longer👍
I can relate. Some cretin in work side swiped the front on my Type S and scraped front splitter and just above fog light. Camera on site is useless. Got it fixed for €230 - was expecting a lot more tbh.i sat and sobbed then got angry at work, when i realise some motherf***** hit rear quarter of car this morning and kept going, rear qtr all scratched and wheel arch lost most of its white top coat, im raging.
i saw the dark coloured merc f off right after it, daft bint, shes me neighbour, waiting for her to come home.GGGGRRRRR!
I think thats the last straw for me, im sick of it going into a bodyshop, gonna get it repaired, new front tyres then bettys being sold I think, im buying a bucket covered in scratches as this aint good for my blood pressure.
Yer kinda I checked their motor no marks...suspect it was alloys n tyre, least 90%of it I was able to recover, dull day today and you can see a very faint set of linesI can relate.

At least you know who hit you at least.

Seems a little strange to be finding that, doesn’t even look like it’s covered in oil and bone dry.Serviced the car today. Old pollen filter was very dirty, last changed around 9 months ago.

Wipers were playing up and stopping in random positions. Bought a wiper motor from eBay which came complete with the rack for £25. Swapped the motor onto old linkage as old one was in better condition. All working fine now.

Also noticed a small blob of tiny metal shavings in the oil pan from the drained oil, haven’t seen this before
