Anyone tried caliper covers rather than painting them?

[Ben.]

i have had the covers on for about 2 years and have not had a bit of trouble with them.

Interesting, do you have any more close-up pictures?

Very Smart Dreamer

My calipers are a state, I really should do something about them but have never decided on a colour. I'm not a fan of red, prefer something more subtle so might just stick to black. Or maybe not

Red standsrd Caliper Paint
I do like the Black Hamerite look however..

 

[Rudd]

mine are red with a black clip thingy. looks nice. i think with some black decals it would look the dogs danglers.


dreamers look really smart aswell, each to their own i suppose
