Default EBC slotted rotors and redstuff pads, and new chromed centre caps for the Daimler's t

I recently got new chromed centre caps for the Daimler as 2 were grey and didn't match. New red 'D' badges too- really lifts it. The wheels are Turbines, pretty bling for a mid 90s Daimler.
thanks to Steve at sbwheels.co.uk for the parts.

For the XJR I got EBC slotted/dimpled front discs and red stuff pads. They are almost bedded in, certainly more bite. I was having fade issues when driving enthusiastically on a nearby twisty road. I haven't tested these yet but expect the problem will be solved.


Trying to be arty with the camera..

I like those wheels. Regular cleaning looks to be imperative!

I too have EBC Redstuff on my XJR. They work very well with all new standard rotors; confident stops always.

they took a fair bit of cleaning when i first got the car. I had many repeats of cleaning with a fairly caustic cleaner that came with my Subaru when I bought it. I got a lot of old road grime and brake dust off. Now they are fairly easy to maintain with a standard wheel cleaner.
