Of course, changing pipes must also include brake bleeding so the improvement in pedal feel could be down to the replaced fluid?

Alloy wheel refurb
Well, I didn't really want to pay for a refurb just because of a few kerb marks, so did it myself - alloy wheel filler + Plastikote metallic silver + three coats of clear lacquer.
It's come out really well. Initially the paint was a bit bright, but after applying the lacquer it's a surprisingly good match for the other wheels.
