RE: Brake callipers

Rolling with Laughter Fake Brembo calipers, whatever next!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

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 Very Happy ?

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

RE: Brake callipers

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

RE: Brake callipers

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 ...
