I'm doing a 312mm brake upgrade on the Octavia and have the opportunity to aquire some green calipers. However I'm not sure they'll look that great on the car!

So can someone green my calipers for me?

If they dont look very nice I'll have them blasted at work and paint them black.

Will they fit under those wheels?.

Yes.

The VRS estate has 16" wheels too (and others here have done it)

hmm cant see it very well:( sorry:P

Thanks Leon. Not sure I like the green though..... what do others think?

Phil, just have them blasted back to silver and have them powder coated in silver, black or gold.

Having them powder coated is a whole heap more work though - green can be done on the car, powder coating would mean removing everything from the car, parking the car somewhere safe with the wheels chocked, being without said car for several days or weeks, reassembling everything and bleeding the entire brake system.

Which to choose ... :rubchin:

Fair poins Nick, but bear in mind the new brakes can be powder coated while the old brakes are still on the car.

My local powder coaters are happy to do calipers, on the understanding that seals will be replaced after the coating has been done.

Ah yes forgot he was having new bits
