  4. It's up to the trader concerned to edit the title and content thread as he sees fit.
  5. Had a nice registry office do, 24 close friends and family at a restaurant for luncn on the Thursday, party at the local golf club on the Saturday, Honeymoon in South Africa on the Tuesday. A nice compromise and we both thouroughly enjoyed it.
  6. Well I know jack about cars That's not true, you bought a Zed
  7. Probably best in the long run, Tesco are in the picture because they want to try to "control" the costs that they incur to repair your car on the girls' behalf and who knows what they might or might not do. They've already shown their devious hand to a degree by trying to "scare" you regarding the Albany costs, truth be told they know they will have to foot the bill anyway as thier client is at fault.
  8. its a ticking time bomb I think the post is saying, it can cause problems and isn't necessary (waste of money/effort) Hi all, There is really a couple of reasons it isn't really a good idea. 1: You're only human! If there is any air at all underneath and you haven't lacquered over them, then it is able to expand when hot and contract when cold without the restriction of the lacquer which won't flex anywhere near at all. If the caliper gets especially hot, it is likely to crack the lacquer over time. Perhaps it depends on the type of driver you are. Aluminium takes longer to heat up that cast, so Brembo's are probably less likely for this to happen to. 2: Brush Marks: So you have taken the time to paint your calipers and you're really happy with the results... Now you have your decals on. Do you really want to splurge lacquer on top? Lacquer is less forgiving on poor prep, so will show up any sins you may have left that were perhaps not as visible as before. In short, instead of buying lacquer to protect budget decals. Just buy good quality decals and make sure the surface is completely clean before applying. Also, if you can apply them to a warm surface, they will stick better to begin with. We use the best quality vinyl you can possibly get. The vinyl copes with high temps but more importantly, the glue is a high temp specific glue. I have never had a customer tell us that theirs have fallen off and we've been using this stuff for nearly 5 years now. By the way, if any of you are looking to buy our caliper paint, please see the link below. It is the same material we use at our premises for our customers brake calipers. Brake Caliper Paint We are also looking at selling our decals soon, we'll probably post on the forum once they are available. All the best guys, hope this helps out!
