Cheers trow ....I appreciate that...

Hi all....ever since i have had the car i have always wanted to upgrade the brakes..so last week i saw a set of R32 calipers and carriers for £200 on ebay and went ahead and brought them. When the calipers arrived they were not in great condition but what do you expect for £200 i guess ..Anyway sent the brakes away for new pistons and seals but decided to paint them myself. So went about cleaning around 6 years of muck off them. Today decided to give them a lick of paint i know a lot of people will say i should have power coated them and maybe i will later on..Here they are.. wish i had a before photo they were a real mess...

So much for not spending anymore so close to Christmas :grin: nice progress, things are happening fast!
Deano45:
Well my intentions were no real spending before Christmas...that's gone straight out the window i know....Just one of these deals I could not pass on...put one of the calipers back together today and looks good...had to buy a list of new stuff for the conversion too...

Looking great! I few mods there that I either have, or intend to get in the future.
Have you removed the pre-cat? Made a decent difference for me and I know Niki tends to recommend it's done before mapping.
When are you there btw? I'm there on 30th. Can't wait!
