Hello Everybody,

Just painted my Brake calipers Red 2 days ago, it took me about 2 hrs, and the result is great for the first time doin such a thing..

anyways.. washed the car today, n here're some pics...

Wut do ya think?

In all seriousness, you should paint the tow bar red too.

the blacked out windows and black wheels give a nice 'mafia' kinda look to your car

Well.. Since i got the car like this n i dont really need the tow bar, im thinkin of removing it, and maybe moving the exhaust to the middle where the tow bar opening is.... im still not sure about this..

LoooL

Mean looking car. Those wheels do look good with red. Give us a picture towing the Caravan as well.

LOL... I have no idea wut kind of caravan u can tow with 100 HP.. im still wonderin why the previous owner fitted this tow bar lol.. and yet he used to go track racing sometimes..

I'd love to do that if I lived over there, but just out of curiosity, isn't it illegal in Btitain?

look at how sunny it is there!

Light transmission laws apply in the United Kingdom. 70% forward of the A pillar. It's fine to tint the rear windows. If your cars front windows are tinted by the manufacturer, you CANNOT tint them at all.

Probably not a caravan, prolly a garden trailer or somat.

Nice work, everyone knows red is the fastest colour!!

Really nice But not keen on rear mudflaps at all.

I think an exhaust in the tow bar hole would look pretty good...better than where it is now imo.

Looks lush out there, I want palm trees and sun :(

Car's looking good, gangster

Lovely looking car

Well... I dont think that its gonna look better without the rear mudflaps as the wheels are too big.. i guess i'll move the exhaust to the middle soon.. but im tryin to find an exhaust cover like the one i have coz it really give a great sound.. i'll record a short sound clip for ya to hear it

Thnx everyone for ur opinions

what like this hehehe

Looks good, did think about going the red caliper route myself, then I wouldn't have to paint the Seat strut brace

But then that means red paint for the 312mm calipers AND the rear ones :rubchin:

Some nice shots there too, particularly like the contrast in the first one :thumup:

Good Idea that :rubchin:

You'll need a second set of rear calipers, unless you plan on having the car off the road while you paint them

And do you know how much a set of rear calipers is, by any chance?

I bought a used set from a well known "ask a tech" contributor

I also made enquiries on various car spares websites. For A new set (not vRS green) fully shipped was about £110 IIRC

For painting use Smooth Red Hammerite in spray cans. You'll get a much better finish than ye olde brush

HTH
