Fake brembo covers, clip on to your existing brakes.

i think it looks alright

did mine in a day, front and rears, removed the Calipers
also put the new discs on & new pads at the same time!

at first i bought VHT brake caliper paint which i strongly advise against there cans are terribly made and every time ive tried to use them they end up stuffing up

Ending up using a different brand caliper paint, cleaned them first just by scrubbing them with a brush and using degreaser

i like the end result

id advise against red with graphite pearl, blue i like

so vht paint is stuff up? so what brand u use? what sort of disc you use? and any approximate price for that? I love blue as well.. looks spoonish.. nice one in your car!

VHT paint didnt work for me, cans stuffed up! it just ran itself out of paint, wasnt usable, cant remember the paint i used now, it was from a local autoone store $12 a can, only needed one can

i used DBA 4000 series rotors on the front, standard at the rear.

Hi Leon,
What are the Brembo style Brake Caliper Covers that you mentioned? Do you know a site where I/we can have a look at them?
Thanks

I use VHT and fine.. but dont know later how's the can will be.. i use 1 can too.. btw, is the paint you use the heat resistant one? if you can let us know what brand is that.. and how's ur opinion for DBA 4000 series? is it good?

For brembo cover or spoon cover caliper.. I've seen this before.. there are some seller overseas... but they look a bit thin tho... IMO..
