Caliper refurb progress update
First caliper has been fully painted and lacquered and is now being rebuilt with the new seals! Second caliper has had the last paint on this PM and will be lacquered this week (just see it in the background of the first pic.) Discs and pads are on their way too!

looking good mike!!
seeing as you have now gone red im might steal the yellow caliper idea but will have to wait and see
Yeah, I just thought red was a "classic" colour, plus it would suit any wheel style and colour (if I was ever to change) whereas yellow looks awesome behind black.... but not silver IMO!
Are you looking for a set then Rob? I'll keep an eye out for you...
yes mate i am indeed the disc's and pads are getting a bit worn so dont want to buy a new set untill i get the 312s
Same as me! Might as well upgrade when something gets worn out.

I've got a pair of 312mm calipers at home. I bought them off ebay originally, they need a refurb! The pistons look a bit rusty should could maybe do with new pistons and rubbers? But Mike bought a refurb kit which I was told didn't exist! So I ended up paying £100> for a pair of new ones.
If you're interested - make me an offer? They're only sat in the garage doing nothing!
They'd look good in green mate
They were fairly shabby when I got them so they needed a refurb anyway! Green might have been OK...Looks nice mate
cant wait start modding mine
Cheers pal. What are you going to do to yours then?
EDIT
Discs and pads arrived today!

Car is booked in for its 60k service on Friday at JKM Performance in Portsmouth. They will fit my 312mm calipers, carriers, discs and pads for me. Lots of pics to follow obviously....
Look forward to seeing some pics 
Mine's going in for it's 90k service in a week or so. Got a feeling it'll be an expensive one

Calipers finished
Finally finished the calipers today. It went something like this: paint/rust removed, Hammerite Smooth Red paint (a good few coats), engine lacquer (again a good few coats), new seals and dust caps. Here are the finished pics with trial fitted pads. Going to be fitted on Friday!
