Whole day and night you mean

 

[darswold]

yeah, thats the prob, i aint got the time !

probably be better to get some new ones and get my local reno garage to fit them.

i fancied the yellow ones but im swaying towards green or even red ?

what do you think ?

where can i buy them

 

[Eskiisbest]

red like everyone else in the world. Go green or yellow bit different

£14 for the paint kit on ebay.

You busy on saturdays?

Just do two at a time make sure you clean them well, took well over an hour to get all the sh*te off mine. Then give them plenty of coats of paint mine took four.

what have you got to lose if you dont like them buy the new calipers you were going to anyway

[badinvincible]

Just buy Brembos, wont take you all day then...!

 

[darswold]

yeah but where do i buy them from ?

 

[blink172]

Mate, paint costs £15. New calipers will rape you ass(dont know the actual cost but its probably more than a £100 per set) and Brembos are probably several hundred. Both not including fitting, at least one day to do

I have no idea on pricing, just trying to give you an idea of the cost difference

Didnt think you could get Brembos for the Clio - hence the

 

[davebem]

Just get some paint caliper spray from halfords, think its 3.99. I did mine, you just have to mask of brake disks with some newspaper.

PS ignore the kerbing it will be fixed soon.
