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

Actually I kinda like the silver trim on the dash and black cube on the shifter. Looks surprisingly good.

Silver cube trim n black cube trim you wilding

I'm piecing it together. I'll probably try the paint technique on the armrests, but I'm keeping the shifter black. I can't handle the reflections the silver shifter gets when the angle of the sun is *just* right. Or maybe I'm just greedy, idk.

Not a fan of black leather and black cube so great job.

I actually liked it, but it could be partly because my dash pieces were all in excellent condition. But the silver does break everything up very nicely, and it definitely benefits from the contrast.

Thanks, we'll see haha. I don't expect it to be for everyone, but I'm weird.

Love those floating rotors. They're on my car right now but replacing with blanks. Can't handle the cost at the moment. Your setup looks beautiful.

Thanks. Beautiful rotors but yea, expensive to replace. What brand you replacing them with? Pics of your setup, plz.

I picked up the Zimmerman rotors and textar pads from fcp euro. Looking to install this week some time. Stock calipers. The floating rotors are absolute toast.



If you zoom in you can see all the holes are cracking.

I wish we could get a decent floating rotor without the holes. Maybe we can; I just haven't found it.

There should be plenty of choices for the stock rotors. Mine are the 345mm csl rotors so they're even more expensive to replace.

Zimmermans crack too.

These aren't technically floating rotors. They are still solidly attached to the hub.
Floating rotors are 2-piece, with a rotor that is attached to a hat by some sort of fastener.

I think the BMW ones are considered "semi-floating".

You can indeed get floating rotors with slots, but they are WAY outside of a reasonable budget. You're best off with some standard 1-piece rotors with slots.
If you don't want blanks but you want an affordable rotor that doesn't have holes, FCP has StopTech slotted rotors for 330's, which are priced very reasonably.
