what? the brakes or the car?would have been nice to have had a more "personal" reply fella instead of C&P like all your other ones....

Are you talking to yourself? :lol:

Don't know what standard brakes are like but the brembos are fandabydosy:D

keep them red no point in changing the way brembos look they are meant to be red.

wilz: another lad had posted something like "v nice, bst color". copy & paste style, so m0rk deleted his posts LMAO

Cupra20: Stealth i the way to go. That way people wont know what hit em until I floor it :D If they spot big brakes, they'll think "big power" straight away. I don't have that yet, but when I do, I don't want people to know ;)

I suppose your right mat if your going stealth like you say. I don't think i could do it though to a brand new set brembos.

after speaking with bill, apparently it will void warrenty spraying them.... but balls to it, I still wanna spray them....

Can't see them breaking, and if they do, i will just argue the toss how can paint affect performance/functionality ;)

just leave them red mat, imagine if you spray them, then fit them and find out they are buggered! you'll kick yourself!

whats wrong with them being red anyway

just wanna be a bit more subtle.....

if i leave em, then i still need to paint rears a shade darker than they are now to match :p



Mmmm.... may see how they look as they are, and spray them in a couple of month :think:

Unfortunately all gurantees work on the basis if they differ or get modified from how they leave the factory, they aren't interested. Worth knowing though I guess...

Small update:

I've been working all week (including today), and want the brakes painted, and due to fit Sunday! So as you can imagine, not had the time.

So dropped them off with a mate Thursday night as he has his own garage, and is a good sprayer.

Just recieved a picture message of them now, just drying! They look mint! just need to remove the stickers to reveal the Brembo logo! Will be collecting them this evening, so will get some picture then and post em up at some point!

:clap:
