Does that not cause any problems with Warranty or anything?

richierich · 19th May 2006, 19:28

Very nice Nick, would like similar on mine, was worried with warranties etc. In relation to the brakes but off topic, whats with the funny pressed metal extensions round the edge of the brake discs, are they trying to make them look bigger?

Hartside · 19th May 2006, 20:39

Not my cup of tea.......prefer them plain metal!

kevin_lufc · 19th May 2006, 20:43

Any chance seeing a pic with the wheel on?

Nick · 20th May 2006, 01:03

Caliper with Wheel.

Kpow99 · 20th May 2006, 13:58

Blue would look good

go with the footwell lighting

Nick · 20th May 2006, 17:34

yeh i thought bout that but ambients are on inside and ppl dont see inside, red is more sporty, or i coulda gone for yellow.

Kpow99 · 20th May 2006, 18:12

Seen blue on top end porkers, looks nice.

DanKo · 26th September 2006, 14:17

What type of paint did you use?

Possible colours I might go for:

Yellow
Red
Green

Also, how did you paint it? take calpiar off?

Regards Dan

Nick · 26th September 2006, 16:15

heat resistant paint, i forgot what the proper name is called. just took the wheels off, used a small brush and started painting on the caliper lol. never took it off. the paint is still looking good, although not as shiny anymore as brake dust has made it dirty but can still tell its red.

IWANTACIVIC · 27th September 2006, 03:32

looks sweet i done my present cars yellow but red looks cool

Nick · 27th September 2006, 12:52

yeh i think it goes with galaxy grey quite well.

basegreen · 27th September 2006, 13:02

I quite like the idea of coloured calipers, but that paint looks a strange colour... off red...?

elfa7 · 27th September 2006, 13:30

Probably got it off richie !!

richierich · 27th September 2006, 13:55

I do have a pot of the original re-spray shade left, if anyones interested. Toyota Red Calipers. Probably enough for 2.

Nick · 27th September 2006, 14:20
