Title: RePaint Callipers or?
Post by: Notty on Saturday, 01 December 2018, 02:38 AM
Its winter and time for projects - my callipers are pretty ugly underneath so do i send them off for refurbishment which is around £200 after postage added or can I RePaint  them myself? They are working absolutely fine just cosmetically challenged (a bit like me !)
Father Christmas will be paying ( aka mrs Notty )

Mate, if Father Christmas is paying, don't go for refurb, buy brand new & flog yours off for an under the table profit!

Father Christmas has to supply all good boys who have a 14 and so has a budget, yes a set of Brembo Radials would be nice but you would all have to go without !!  :rofl2:

 Had these on my last 14 back in 2003 when I tried to drive off with disc lock on -gone up a bit since !
MINI-6 BILLET ORIGINAL STYLE calipers with BILLET-6 facia for the front of your bike.
Prices vary dependent upon finish.For a show polished finish the cost would be £764.76 plus carriage and vat = £932.71
or if you would prefer a Black or Clear anodised finish £822.84 plus carriage and vat = £1,002.40.
Our calipers are supplied complete (pads, bolts etc) and are a direct fitment to your stock front end.  father Christmas just said no  :bugga:

To be fair Notty, I can't really blame Father Christmas for that answer.
