Since first installing the brakes a spring has been missing off one of the pads which means the passenger side calliper rattles. I decided to switch from the jurid to ATE pads – the ATE’s bite a bit better initally than the jurids – something I’ve found on my daily drivers. Also the ATE pads are OE for E46 / E9x.



A few bits of rust, here under the drivers door:


Chipped off, brushed and some rust remedy:



Sprayed with rollbar and chassis paint, you can see the hole in powder coat but I’d rather this than have the surface rust carry on creeping:



The wing mounts had also started to rust, so took these off while the wheels were off for the pad change. Also cleaned up any chips in the powder coat on the front suspension:





Refreshed with new nuts and bolts:



3D part has also finished printing, need to how this fits:



EDIT:

Here's a timelapse of the 3D print: https://youtu.be/MD8rNL4XSsw
