Grin Mod again god knows why

Ok

Mentioned to Ken i had done another little mod, and he was intrested to know what .

So here we go, I decided that it would make a nice change to redo the calipers on the car as i was getting fed up with the red, so did this....

before








and after








sorry fuzzy me XO

all in took me 2 days solid working on them, and Chris helped me over the weekend another 2 days solid, never again .

PS
Simon on the car>>


And i always knew that it would come of the face of the disk about 5 mins driving but, that wasn't my idea, it was just to have the hubs done and backplates just easier to do the whole disk.

PS
not everyones cup of tea but it's a personal thing i guess.

Wow!

I'm impressed, by the result, and the ambition!

Can't wait to see how it looks on the car.

Let's see how long your discs stay that colour...BET you're the only one at Trax in blue!

Looking good bedlam....

Looks like you went balistic with the paint, yet missed painting the back of the pads

Still makes a nice change from brembo red...

thats on my wish list of things to get done! my mate's just done his celica by simply taking his wheels off and being very careful, however, to minimise downtime and cause I haven't any tools or garage etc, I wonder if it would be easier to get another set of bits and bobs, sort them out and then it's just a quick swap over for some bod down a garage!

saying that, how much is a new set to save on the sanding issue altogether!!??!!

RR

And if your gonna get new ones have them anodised, to whatever colour you want, and yes even that comes off the disk

Nice one Andy. I agree, it looks so much better than red.
Unfortunately, it would look completely wrong on a red car - so I settled for boring...

Crystal clear repeaters turned up this morning.
