Pav's Albi Blue 197T

Ummm not my cuppa tea [MENTION=41063]Pav[/MENTION], but each to their own I guess.
 
i should have placed them a bit lower too..but will see if i like them in couple of weeks..if not-then bin them:bash:

They might look better in a different colour, I think the yellow just stands out a bit too much.
 
didnt really know what other colour i should go for since the calipers are yellow...i was kinda going for the subaru look..when i was a bit younger i used to adore the look of the Subaru WRC..555.jpgjust received a new set of the stickers-they wi
ll go lower for sure..
thanks for the comment s guys..always nice to chat with people with diff opinions..
 
Wow I think this car has just convinced me too change my callipers to yellow. They're really nice.

Lovely looking car!
 
thanks guys. [MENTION=29138]Chris91[/MENTION] u might want to consider having ur calipers powder-coated..im thinking of doing it..dont get me wrong they look perfect from distance but a closer look will reveal that the surface is not smooth and it gets dirty,which u cant do nothing about but repaint them..i've done it a couple of times this year and getting a bit annoyed tbh..just dont know how to proceed since i dont have a spare set of calipers..might start a new thread and get a few opinions from the members...
 
Ugh thats a pain mate. Yeh they look really good in pictures.

Same with my alloys, they look good in pictures but I think they were poorly painted by the previous owner and have chipped and flaking at the edges. I might have them powder coated and get the callipers done at the same time.

Did you use actual calliper paint?
 
yep i did a special caliper paint..have tried 3 diff types and manufacturers ..made no difference..tbh they are not that bad but if u want ur caliper to be maintenance free (paintwise) then the powder coated direction is the way to go i think...
 
Thats weird cos caliper paint is usually good stuff.

I think ill just do them cos its not something that is looked into in much detail.

Mine are a horrible white atm.

They look awesome mate. What brand did you use this time? I couldn't find very many when I was looking and the ones I found had crap reviews.
 
since i couldnt take part in the forum's trip to Black Mountains i've spent some some on the paintwork today..while i was cleaning my diy cupboard i've found this polish compound:13072014548.jpg
