Painted a caliper!
Yep, just the one as started late, but really pleased with the outcome.
I took inspiration from Tom Scott's calipers - Orange on Silver Grey...
Rub Down and de-greased
You've been Tangoed!
Added the detail
And on the car - only 3 more to go!!!
While the wheel was off, I polished, waxed and added Meguiars Ceramic wax. Can't wait to see if this works!

Decided to man up and remove my washer reservoir cos the jets were giving the impression of an old man with prostate trouble. After reading stuff on here I removed the pumps, got the tank out and spent 20 minutes de-gunking the filters. They were covered in “jelly”. Put everything back in and now have full power windscreen jets. Yay!

Nice work 8)
I once did this to an orange focus st I had. I quickly regretted it once I drove the car a few times and the brake dust covered the orange calipers
but if you clean them regularly, then it's not a problem.Thanks, I might polish and wax them to hopefully reduce this and protect them more!ben g said:Nice work 8)

I had my S54 VANOS, timing chain (quite a bit of stretch in it! 
)and timing guide replaced and the valve clearance checked and corrected where required. Well.... I didn't do it - Steven himself from Mr. VANOS did all of that. The engine now runs quieter and smoother and the 'holes' in the torque delivery below 3000rpm have virtually vanished. Very happy with the result. My biggest surprise was the slack in the chain due to the stretch.
Worth mentioning that Steven seems a really nice bloke as well as he knows what he's doing.

Looks like a really good job there
Really glossy! How did you spray it, with a spray can or gun?

If that's in reference to my Z4 then thankyou
so glad I got it done years ago. At first I dyed my black fabric roof, but didn't achieve the look I wanted, so I decided to chuck some money monsoons way and get a replacement fitted.My mates call my car red riding good :lol: but I don't care. It looks great to my eyes!
