What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Bring on the pitchforks, but I can't stand AY or PY (I think the actual Performance calipers are Austin Yellow). It looks good on the right color combos, but it's not for me. Probably PTSD from cleaning up the poo of 6 newborn puppies which is alarmingly similar in color.

I'm going with classic yellow G2 from William after he moves back from DC, and fresh BMW decals. I bought some Brembo decals, but they look a little too boyracer for my tastes.

Yellow should look great

What % tints do you have? On that lovely Estoril

How much longer of brakes does it give you under hard aggressive braking? I'm guess that's stock rotor size so the extra heat dissipation is from the size of the caliper as a "heat sink".

They are stock rotor size (thanks to new brackets). And yes there's just a lot more surface to spread the heat across. I don't plan on getting to the track this year, but I'll probably replace these discs with some StopTech slotted this winter.

Thanks, bud. Yellow would look fantastic on Mystic too.

40%. Black interior and anthracite headliner make it look a touch darker.

Would you happen to have the front windshield tinted too?

Negative. I've heard too many conflicting stories, thus turning me away. Ideally though, I'd like some Air Blue 80 for the windshield (same tint I think BP has on his car) for the UV protection/heat reduction, but I just put a sun shield up when I park anywhere. I've been using the shields since ~2005, so it's second nature at this point.

Finally got around to replacing the front brake pads, weren't too low but at 3-4mm they were making an obnoxious amount of noise just when driving. So put OEM pads on the front because my brother gets 30% off at the dealership so $80 for the set. Still can't get the damn front left rotor off, the one bolt to remove them is totally seized

Also, brother replaced his chrome kidneys with gloss black, they didn't have any plain gloss black in stock so he ordered a set with the ///M stripes. Really embracing the package lol
