Marmite touch

[volvokid]

I finally got round to getting my calipers rebuilt and painted, I had a hankering for big red brembos for long enough but I decided to go slightly different :) I'm really happy and they stand out a mile away, I am going to change the decals to black ones soon to compliment my badges and alloys I hope :riceboy: and I will get proper pictures taken at some point that will hopefully show just how load they really are.

Interesting choice!
I like, I think?

[Jamest5r]

You certainly notice them :)

[MoleT-5R]

looking good, nice to see someone doing some different to the norm, I think black R's will look great on them

[volvokid]

I don't expect everyone to like them, I know red was the safe option and the orange wasn't an instant hit for me either but now I am glad I got them done.

[stribo]

The question is how long will they stay that colour, brake dust will soon dull them. ;)

[volvokid]

We shall see, I'm going to buy an alloy sealant which should help, there is a 2 year guarantee anyway, but since I had them rebuilt I get 4 years, not sure if that covers the paint.

[MIKESC70T5]

Not sure mate. As it's an aftermarket colour, I'd probably fit Brembo stickers on them instead of the R.

[volvokid]

My dad thinks the same but I like the R touches on the car that's why I went for them again.

[volvokid]

I want to fit this but smaller and with anthracite squares with one orange one.

The calipers look great , a wee splash of colour really lifts the look of the car,

[AcidicDavey]

I've got some of them racing squares, white with one blue. haven't been brave enough to put them on :P

[Doingitsideways]

I like.

Would make a great addition to a car with the David Dickinson interior too. :)

Where did you get them from?

[AcidicDavey]

A seller on eBay, Volvo850parts or something like that.

I can't recommend them based on my 2nd transaction with them, never received item and didn't respond to any questions until I opened a case. Then fobbed me off with a 'it's the courier's fault' type of excuse but after he shared me the tracking details it turned out he cancelled the collection so he still had it! This was a steering wheel.
A complete bellend I think is the term.

So, although the stickers are good, I'd look elsewhere!

[volvokid]

Thanks for the advice , I will stay clear. D5kerry made me gel badges for the car and they where exactly what I was after, I can't seem to get in contact with him/her...? Or I would go there as I know I would get what I'm after.

[AcidicDavey]

I think he frequents T5D5 so may be worth PMing him on there?

I myself have some Moose badges off him, been on the car 3.5 years now ;)

[Orca2]

Hehe I love it " a complete bellend " you must be a lawyer Davey, these technical terms!

Good shout I will try there, same user name?

He's on Facebook mate, I've just suggested him as a friend for you on there. He made my gel moose badges for my C70, top notch job.

[Jimmie]

They would have looked better in PINK !!!!lol

[Wobbly Dave]

I think they look good and more importantly it looks like a quality job, nothing less than I would expect from you.

Cheers Dave yeah it's a pretty good job, there is a couple of defects on the paint that I don't understand How it past qc but it's nothing that you can see on the car so it doesn't matter really.

[volvokid]

No because I would never get the car back from you.
