Yep, agreed, used to have the same issue with previous ww Mogs, I once got caught in heavy rain on the A38 with nowhere to stop, no sidescreens made it easy to observe and the volume of water coming out from within the spoked area from the front wheels was like a jetwash, I also used to get much worse corrosion on the inner face of the discs

Current Mog has Plus 8 style alloys and very different compared to above (although I suspect brake cooling is not as good)
