Took forever not even sure it's worth the time it took lol

This is amazing


Absolute filth


Goal set for 5 years

So here's what happened got the brembos like this


Repainted them to this



Then when I lacquered them it reacted with the paint so decided to do them properly so this is how they stand now



Test fitted them and they didn't fit so ordered some 20mm fk hub centric spacers


282-323mm haha

Brembo's look awesome on that now mate!

They ain't on yet they stillin half but they are going to go purple i think to be a bit different

i think it would look pretty cool mate if you had the brembos the same colour as the car? keep it going with a cool red theme?

The problem with that for me is that if you see brembo calipers they are red or gold and I want something different

fair enough buddy was just a thought...

fair one aha

Dedication to a clean car!

Got to be done! Looks awesome. I purchased an M10 bit on ebay for exactly the same reason! Did you go over the seats with Gliptone or similar?

I used auto glym leather care, dunno if that's the same fair one haha all my multi splines are in work so tools are limited at home so used an 8mm Allen key

Lucky escape there, I've heard horror stories of the bolt heads shearing even when using the correct bit!

Good call on the black brembo's too IMO. As much as red would stand out I think in this situation it would actually be a bad thing as the calipers are massive! It'd be like painting your alloys red

Nah it was a good Allen key which had sharp sides so no slipping.. And the black went wrong so gonna do them purple now contrast is good! And it's different

Brembos nearly there



Got some spacers and don't like them but they are needed to fit the brakes
