The calipers need to be done! And the expense would be minimal. I bought my red paint at Halfords for £9, and I'm sure they sell yellow paint too. Just a thought.To do... TIP, Tints, Refurb wheels matte black, Exhaust, FMIC, Remap, 312mm brakes, paint calipers yellow. Just a few ideas!

You're back MargheD, seems like you have been gone ages!
Yeah, calipers might be next... its just being bothered and finding the time as I want to do it properly!Yep, I've been back to Italy for a while and then Germany (unfortunately not for the Ring. )
It's good to be back!
The only thing that bothered me with the calipers was having to wait so long between one coat and the other and then for it all to dry, it's a monkey's job really, but it'll take most part of an afternoon.

Filter bracket
Made up a bracket for my open cone filter today. Used the original that Damoegen made me and adapted it slightly with a universal bracket that I bought from ebay. Painted it matte black so it blends into the engine bay.
Being painted
Bolted in place
Filter back in place (no more cable ties holding on to the strut brace!)

That looks like a job well done.
Cheers! Certainly looks better than the two cable ties I had supporting the weight!
Cheers pal.

MOT
Mine is over due too, Mike (54' reg on ~41.5k miles)
Its going to have to wait till after the MOT at the end of next month though..
Mines a 55 reg (end of September registered) with 52k miles. I bought it at 22k miles in Jan 08! Its just my long commute that racks up the mileage (30 miles to work, 60 miles a day) and playing cricket all over the county in the summer doesn't help...
