Looks a lot tidier now

Did you take the front calipers off or paint them in situ? I painted the one's on my old Cup in situ and I'd never do it that way again lol.

If you went to all that effort, I personally would have washed/polished the wheels front and back while they were off.

Calipers were in very good condition so a bit of brake cleaner and wire brush done the trick, the paint was some exhaust manifold stuff sprayed into the lid then painted on with a tiny brush.

next week Daniel
