RED Calipers £395

[mike price]

Just been quoted by Audi to have my calipers red it will be an additional £395 !

Now is it literally just the red or are the calipers different in anyway.

If they are the same surely i could get them painted red at a later date for cheaper.

Biggest **** take option Audi do!! .....and a big hike on price from £250 for PFL.

Do em yourself or get someone else to do it.

My local paint-shop offered to do it for £140 which is much better. I'm still not sure if I'll bother....

Just do it yourself. I bought my second hand S3 and it had red calipers, but hadn't spec's the B&O, but did have the Audi sound system, and also no front parking sensors or auto hold. What a waste of money. Whoever spec's the car did a great job otherwise but what a waste of £400.

I'd pay extra to keep them standard

How annoying would it be to spend all that money only to find that it would be virtually impossible to keep them looking red? I would put that money towards a holiday!

Lol ok. Can I ask why that's a thing? Never known. Presumably something to do with theft!

Now there's an idea I like.......

I just bought some red brake calliper paint for £10, painted them myself, you honestly could not tell the difference.

The funny thing is Audi have to paint them black anyway, so red paid must just cost £395 more than black paint per 200oddml

People on here never seem to factor in Audi Tax on any extra they spec on their cars...lol

Too be honest l had red brake calipers on my ST3 they are very easy to keep clean, that's if you wash your car on a regular basis

Am tempted to get mine done as I like the contrast with Daytona. Know a guy who would probably do em for a pack of beers, maybe even get me rusty bits done too if I can pin him down

Red n Daytona.... Sexual.... Lol

 

[Kingfisher]

Do them yourself and very easy on a new car as they are not coated in crud!
I think the paint I bought was about £14; good for 200 degrees C.
It took me about 2 hours in all : jack up, wheel off, spray clean, paint, wheel back on, next wheel.... and so on

 

[PhatGit]

Got them in mine, and no issues with crud taking the shine off. Always look red, and I wash the car about once a nun's fart
