Calipers done. What a nightmare of a job. Started brush painting but was taking more paint off than going on. Reverted to masking and spraying. New caps finish it off nicely.

Anyone gone down the route of getting their calipers powder coated? I've painted mine, was just wondering as I've just had a quote for a refurb of seals and powder coating as it's a more durable process. Came in at an eye watering £632. Asked them if I could just have the seals and I'll get them powder coated closer to home. Nope won't sell to the public and won't pass on who their supplier is.
Is there a bit more to the name Centric? Can't see anything to do with seals on a Google search.Centric do them, 143.33041 for front and 143.34021 for rear.

You personally used these seal mate?
Yes, with regards to EBay. It has a stigma against it, possibly unduly. But some suppliers do sell cheap tat on their website. I'm willing to pay a premium to get the right seals that are of a quality mayerial. Some may say a seal is a seal. I work in the aerospace industry and understand the need for tried and tested parts and ancilliaries .No but some colleagues have without issue.
There are quite a lot of service/repair kits on Ebay but I’ve not heard of the manufacturer.

Agree, Red looks good, not sure about the yellowApart from the gold wheels and the ridiculously low suspension, I'm not actually so sure about yellow as an option now. That pic has been the decider I think. Stick with red...
I got mine red but you could get some covers for 20£ to see how they look like

Only one way to find out mateWonder what my car would look like with Red Calipers?
They look good... where are they from?Hey guys. Sorry for bringing up an old thread. I just stumbled upon this and wanted to hear your opinion. What do you think of the look of these callipers? I know that many of us (Audi owners) think that an Audi deserves better than calliper covers and we all should invest in an S3 or change to a BBK. But anyway... The color can be different, but the look & shape isn't that bad. These covers made of aluminium and attached to the callipers with clips and screws.

Are they good quality ??I bought them (the red ones) from Aliexpress here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000860119989.html
There are a few more listings of the same product by the same seller, but this one has the lowest price. I negotiated with the seller beforehand that they would send me the covers without their logo, so I could put my own Audi related decals on them. The covers arrived in 10 days. The quality is very good, exactly as you can see on their pictures.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the seller requested pictures of my oem callipers, so they could send me the right ones.
They are very good quality. They look exactly like on the pictures and robust enough. I already put Audi Sport decals on them. I hope they fit well too but that I'll learn when I fit them in August.Are they good quality ??

The price is for a set of 4 I paid $178 three weeks ago. There was a listing for two covers only, $90 I think it was.It says they are 150.00 per 1 piece. Dont tell me you spent nearly 600.00 on some covers for all 4?
I assume that is 1 piece is 4 items
If it's purely the look you are after then go for it. but you need a decent size alloy to pull it off.Hey guys. Sorry for bringing up an old thread.

I disagree whole heartedly, but it is my car and my choice. Don't think green was an option from the factory. Your welcome to your opinion, as is everyone.Bit od combination green red.. Would paint green

Mghh those disks look so little espec rears .. it loooks like u have 20'' wheelsGot the calliper covers fitted. There were some troubles during installation as the fitting brackets were not shaped well enough to wrap around the calliper carrier and I was unable to push them high enough to center align. But I managed to re-shape them with pliers and a hammer and everything was great at the end. Here are a few pictures.
