Paul, your brakes must feel a million times better. The polite way of putting is, they were f**ked.
They are better but not fully bedded in yet so not quite seeing and feeling the full effect yet, will happen though.

Worryingly though the 'grinding' noise I hear when I put the roof up is still there, I thought it might be one of the sticking callipers pressing against the disc surface as this is similar to what it sounds like - I am getting worried it might be a drive shaft or something ... not sure ... maybe i should put a post up in the main forum gauge opinions to what it might be ...

Nice looking job. Well done. Great choice of colour. Don't forget to add heat to the areas you have stressed into curves and corners.
