350Z brake pads sorted. And, as I suspected, the traction control malfunction light has extinguished itself as a result.

BRONZE yellow.  cloud9:

I remember it SSSSO well. cloud9:

THAT was THE colour to have then as it was outrageously different in those days.

My mate who was heavily into the Lambbretta scene had his painted in that colour.
Pulled all the gerlies in that did. lol:
