I've put my selection down to the Alfa 159, somewhere around 2007/8 - leather, poss 1.9 or 2.4 Diesel.

 

Fancy lending me the GRT? :teeth:

Need a hand deciding on hand car? ;)

 

If it means putting petrol in, feel free :teeth:

She will end up being a weekend/Friday car. So she will end up being loved more than she is now doing 800 miles a week.

 

They should be just as easy cleaning standard looking calipers as the process is identical in application.

Considering the amount being spent you need to drive it and I mean drive it like you stole it :)

Oh she will be abused, but only on special days. I can't drive a car with MPG in the 17's or less 160 miles a day. I'd be broke!!

So we agree on special days.

 

 

Well, I've decided on a colour for the Ksports......

 

 

 

Drumroll........

Custom Pearl Candy Apple Red with white decals.

 

Should have them back in around a weeks time.

 

 

Why not anodising them in that colour?

 

Anodising won't bring the same effect. Candy is made up of a number effects that anodising won't cover. Also I don't want to go through the headache and cost of testing with anodising to be honest. Anyway when she's painted the calipers will match the bodywork.

Herewith the finished product. Hats off to the guys at The Brake Caliper Specialists. They've gone beyond their standard paint database to provide the Candy Apple Red. Custom stencils - artwork done by "Cal" - so thanks matey for those.

 

They're heading down to me for Wednesday and the plan is to have them fitted Friday.

 

Enjoy..... comments welcome.

I'm sure pictures don't do them justice, especially with this sort of paint finish.
