So having seen some lovely pictures of red calipers from our Aussie friends on this forum and with this generating generating massive jealousy that we can't have them speced in the UK, I wondered if anyone knew any reputable company in the south of the UK that could paint them after I get my car? I don't want to do it myself as I wouldn't know where to start and my attention to detail is shocking so I'd likely **** it up anyway

Any help?
 
parts exist in ETKA, don't know how much they cost but maybe better than painting them ?

well just had a look and you're better off painting them :ninja:

around 450£ each side
 
I've found these guys on the net Brake Caliper Painting Service from £99.00 @ Specialisttyres.co.uk anyone got any experience/thoughts? Looks like £200 and one days work

Also found this close up. I reckon you just get the outer black bits painted and keep the S3 plate over the top?

Should be easy to do.............. not sure about the look though.
Use Hammerite smoothrite
