I don't know how bothered you are, But now would be a ideal time to bin off that brake adjuster, fit a proper inline bias thing to go with your rear discs, Get a better pedal feel!

I hardly ever out tho lol. But if your ever at a local meet come over

Cheers Archie I was gonna do it Arden but then I thought I would look abit too blue, as there's no brakes in the paint work ie arches bumper tops. I just didn't want my car to start hanging because I plan on keeping it lol

What did you do to prep it ?

I done the rear inner arches on my silver XE, i just TFR sprayed the arches, pressure washed them and went over what was already good factory sealing.

My GSI has lots of loose surfacey rust underneath though Going to take a while.

Well the inners were all done 2 years ago so they were pretty darn clean anyways cars very well looked after so no rust under them, which was good! Just redone them over the stuff that were done before.

And the underside was picked of all the loose bits and grinded. Then cleaned up and then undersealed
