Update on the brakes. Yesterday I arranged to fit my new Supra brakes. We started fitting the Right set first. We bent a bit the air duct and the caliper and the disc fitted ok. No need to cut or remove the air duct. Also I fitted the adaptors before I installed the brakes on the car. Now the sad part is that when we fitted the rim we just realised that the gap from the rim and the caliper was only 1 mm or 1.5 mm only. Not a lot of clearance. The rim did not touch the brakes, but the fittment was very tight. I did not like the idea to have such a small gap between the caliper and the rim. So I decided to remove the brake and fit a 3mm adaptor to have a better clearance. So with the ET35 rims you need space adaptors. Probably if the width of the rims was 8 and 7.5 I would not have a problem. So I have to order or make a set of adaptors before i fit the brakes.
I also purchased Motul RBF600 brake fluid which I was going to use together with the brake kit.
Today I took the car to shop to fit Global window films. Pics will follow this evening.
always looks better with the tints and sorry the brakes will have to wait a bit before you are happy with the fitment

Tints look pretty sweet matey! :thumbup1:
Ok as I mentioned last week I attempted to install the new Supra brakes but at the end of the day we found out that I need it spacers. So I managed to get a set of 5mm spacers from my mate and today we fitted the brakes. Here are some pics I took during fitment.
So have you tried them out yet ??
just introduce them with a bottle of wine and a meal
