Did mine in red with a caliper paint kit. Looks great

Red,but I would remove them & give them a good clean first then after painting them I would get some clear heat resistant lacquer to protect then & give them a shiny look.

Dottyflo,
How much do you want for them, now they are a used item
?They look alright to me for something behind the wheels that's gathering dust & dirt.
I would need to know that the fixing kit is 100% though as you would not want them working loose.

Better not brake to much or that plasic crap would melt
edit: And come to think about it. Isolate the calipers so heat wont dissipate

Hiya Nick
Sorry mate but there going back for a refund....there only £17 to buy, that's why I gave it a shot just to see what they looked like and to put my mind at rest (should I shouldn't I) but I know now (I shouldn't) lol
And "Wheels" picked up on a good point about the heat won't dissipate from the calliper
But if you do decide on fitting a pair you stick them on with heat resistant silicone

If you ask anyone who knows me their tell you I'm the most indecisive person ever (or am I) lol
Anyway finished the garden earleir and thought let me quickly dry fit the calliper covers before they go back..
Unpacked em again!! And dry fitted them and stood back to be honest even tho they just covers they don't look to bad ...

Look ok and who's every gonna be close enough to know there fake. As for melting I know people who've had them on for years and they still look like new.

OK, but take them off before you go to Nurnbergring
