Yep.

Looked on vht website, they also do an awesome range of mettallic paints, i reckon calipers in this would look pretty sweet

Now we are talking

Was looking at some rear calipers to refurb, look pretty simple and i think the standard red on the rears looks awful.

Depending on how much it would be for rear caliper O/H I could be interested. Was going to do them myself but if you start doing them it will save me the hassle .

I've just finished doing a front set for my car. Managed to grab a bargain off here for £100 for the front set, only thing is one or the nipple holes was stripped so stuck an oversized insert in and worked a treat. Held a couple thousand psi on pressure test so should be fine.

I'll try and see other stuff I can make for clios, maybe a trs strap adaptor

Go for it, i cant make them anymore.

Got a lathe in the garage so can easily knock some up

 

[usher197]

id buy an adapter, works not really keen on us doing homers atm

 

[Twellsie]

I'd definitely be interested in this at next pad change

 

[choppen]

have you done the first set yet?
