jimmy1280 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Has anyone got the Brembo caliper covers? Was just about to buy a paint kit and see these do they work and look good cos they are very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 They are sh*t sorry. They are made for the Max Power kids in their 1.1's with rubbish brakes. Honestly why on earth would you want to cover up genuine Brembo's with fake Brembo covers? It's easy enough to repaint the calipers if they look that bad or if you just want a change of colour plus you can get the genuine decals to put back on once you've painted them. Check out Brads Brembo's after he repainted them for an example; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/85138-brads-fiddy-gt-new-brakes-pg4/page__st__60 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Doesn't hurt to ask Jimmy. Red calipers will look great with your lovely black roadster.

GMballistic Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Also check the size of the Brembo decals before you rub/remove them off the calipers. There are plenty on eBay like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-90MM-and-2X-75MM-BREMBO-WHITE-BRAKE-CALIPER-DECALS-STICKERS-HIGH-TEMP-/111072267019?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19dc6c4b0b For best results I'd lacquer over the top of the decals once you've put them on the calipers but that's probably just over kill & really not a necessity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take some pictures as you go if you can to guide others who may be thinking of doing it in the future. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
