Have you seen the brembo clip on covers?

We had a Z4 in the other day with them on, madness

 

[AdamRoutley]

nope..and its not an attempt to make em look like brembo because theyre clearly not..they just needed sorting

 

[DannyC87]

looking good mate

 

[danieltm]

Nice job! i done mine black coz the car is red and i thought it mite look a bit too much?

 

[LEE69]

Mine were painted before i got the car, saved me a job, although i do prefer black.

Edit
How rude of me, sorry mate, they look good

 

[Markyboyt]

That is the trouble with braking components, not a lot of emphasis is put on appearance of them as standard and also with the use of wheel cleaners etc they can get to look a sorry state, and when you have a very open alloy wheel it really shows.
We have a lot of complaints from usually Z4/X5 owners about their centre hub section of the discs looking corroded so end up painting them silver, something which will probably get done on my Leon once I get the starfish alloys fitted to it. Plus i'm going to hammerite my tow bar black so will probably drop a bit on the calipers while im there.

BTW spudisdabest, I was'nt implying that you were trying to imitate brembo's, just seemed a good place to comment on the covers as I was amazed to see them the other day.

Looks nice matey

 

[AdamRoutley]

cheers boyos, im well impressed with them also..change the whole appearance of the car somewhat!

 

[dholdi]

Nice, need to get mine done as they are looking similar to your before pic. Think I'll stick with black tho.

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Did you do fronts and rears? i presume so have you got a pic side on of the car with them done, looking good ive got the paint at work to do it but still havn't got round to doing it.'

 

[AdamRoutley]

Haven't but will get one for you tomorrow dude

 

[JamesL]

did you just do them on the car? what did you use to clean them up with? Look good.

 

[AdamRoutley]

Would have taken em off if I knew how, but yeah, painted em in situ. Just cleaned em and the arches with car shampoo and warm water then dried with a hair dryer. Sanded em down a lil bit with some smooth stuff, re washed and dried again. Then sprayed em with aerosol brake cleaner then painted with smooth hammerite. Whilst they wer drying I washed,clayed and waxed my wheels then wacked em back on

 

[seantdi]

i did mine there saturday! just sprayed them with brake cleaner and gave them a rub of a wire brush. painted them with red hammerite and gave them a coat of lacquer. i might do them black yet. not sure. also thinking of putting 312mm brakes on it so im in 2 minds!! i seen them brembro covers on ebay 2!!
