Motul RBF 600 if you are a bit flash.

 

I use a generic p*ss from the motor factors and have not had any problems off it.

I also have these. I have however cut the fog lamp holes out and put some 6 inch x 3 inch intakes in, then just trunkingfrom these zip tied onto the wishbones and pointed in the general direction of the discc. You might not want to cut 6 x 3 holes in your front clam though!!!

Used ATE blue stuff in my car yesterday, and didnt have any issues. There is also RBF660, which is more expensive, but meant to be better than the 600

With the only sidenote that the castrol srf has to be replaced once a year or so, as it deteriarates.

(should be on the bottle)
