Wonderful, which type of paint do you use ? Paint for High T° ?
It was Foliatec 2162 Brake Calliper Paint Set, Racing Blue from Amazon

veryverydarkblue said:Trip out of London to RBM for roof motor relocation, CDV delete and extra oil service. Great experience from Ross and the gang and very reasonably priced work. Met my car's doppelganger there too: H1 ***. Picked up a puppy on the way back. Now need to work out how dog and wife can both fit comfortably and safely in the car...

Big Andra said:Hunter alignment but turns out my rta bushes are knacked. All rear bushes ordered to save any further grief later on. Then got quoted £500 to respray both sides and bonnet which I think is very reasonable so that'll be next on the list after all the geometry is sorted and I've fitted my replacement wings. If this rain stops I'll change my drivers side bowden cable.

Was that John at ProGrip? Where did you get the paint job quote if you don't mind me asking sounds very reasonable
OK, they arrived today and I tried them out. They fit well! I doubt they would come out in normal driving.mgrlane said:Z4C_er said:I've ordered these:Z4C_er said:You could probably get rubber caps to block off the holes. I'll have a look.

Yes please. I am interested to see how they look.

They look great mate! I like the look of them.
So apparently if you fit brass bushings, you don't need the retainer. Maybe that can be explained? Surely others have done this?Z4C_er said:How will this go at MOT time?Nictrix said:mgrlane said:OK, they arrived today and I tried them out. They fit well!

Will it be noted that part of the caliper is missing?
