calipers

Any know? i've asked before but got nowt and thought it'd be quicker and easier asking here than asking a dealer. Thanks, PJ.

Thought this would be a good idea for this section. What do you guys and gals recommend for the best way to clean the calipers and remove brake dust. Also what products. Thanks

Car is 2.0 16v SX. The car was parked with handbrake on for about 4 months before I bought it. When the handbrake is released, the caliper levers don't return to the stops. If I take the cable off and work the lever by hand then it returns ok, but when the handbrake is applied, they don't go...

Hi guys, done searches for painting of them. Just would like feedback and opinions on what colour to paint them on MY03 Platinum grey LC.

Hi, anyone got any pics of ovni Leons with coloured calipers? Have searched but cant find any decent pics. Unsure of what colour to paint, bought some black hamerite yesterday but have been thinking of yellow also.

Hoping to paint my calipers. But cant decide which colour to go for. To aid me in my quest. Does anyone have a pic of there plat silver leon with either silver or red painted calipers. THe wheels are the standard cupra ones that are spilt in 2, but essentially 5 spokes

Just wanted to know if anyone has attempted this or even taken them some where to be done, the laquer on mine is coming of and they look pants so need to get it sorted. Phil

Painted the calipers today. Painted the calipers red and painted the centre and edge of the disc black. Only done the drivers side as it was too cold. Also took the time to clean the wheels and put a coat of Supaguard on them. I removed the front calipers but got away with doing the rear...

i was changing the disks and pads on my 16v today. pasanger side no problem went to do drivers side calliper fooked dam it. does any any one no i've diffrent callipres from the vw range will go on wth little greife ie vr6?:confused:

Anything I should be weary of when removing them, Im a bit new to it doesnt seem to difficult, just the usual dont put tension on the brake lines etc. Im removing them to paint them by the way

Afternoon Guys I am just wondering if any of you who own a LCR has had a problem with the laquer on the Brembos flaking. Mine has done 13510 miles and this is happening (more on the offside). Took it to my local dealer today and they said this is a problem but Seat wont replace them under...

Ive just put my old alloys on my new car :D and it looks awesome. But theres a small gap between the caliper and the inner alloy, heres a photo: Is this enough clearance do you think? Will there be much if any caliper movement? If nothing moves itll be fine... Id say there is around...

My originally red painted calipers have turned pink. I have not been using any harsh alloy wheel cleaners, just soapy water and elbow grease. Has anyones else done the same? Was thinking of lightly coating them with something to try and bring them back to life--any suggestions apart from...

Is this a conversion that works?? just want to know out of interest really if you can replace drums on a ibiza with leon rear discs?

Is this a common problem on the cupras. My front drivers side caliper has seized. i took the caliper off last night and tried to push the piston back in with a wind back tool but it wouldn't budge, can you buy a service kit???

Probably sounds like a daft question but anyway, looking at some Brembo calipers which were ment for a Mk3 VR6 golf now if I was to mount these on the suitable brakets/retaining brakets for a Mk3 Ibiza Cupra R would they be ok for my Ibiza?

Looking to paint my calipers in either red, yellow or plain silver. (It's an Ovni Yellow FR). Please Vote! :D

While washing the wheels at weekend i noticed on the passenger side front caliper thers was some water behind what looks like a Vinyl sticker. On closer inspection i have found lots of little white spots all over the caliper, even on the bolts, If i rub my finger over them it feels like little...

I saw a similar thread. So I'd like my break calipers painted red, can the dealership do this or should I go somewhere else? Also how much would it cost and will the paint fade off eventually? last question. how is it usually done.. all 4 wheels or just the rear ones?
