they might be something like carbon lorraine RC5's or 6's if they make sparks.most pads with a very high metallic content will do this to some extent. if there's plenty of material left and they work dont worry about it  you will need to clean your wheels one a week btw! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
