Brembo Brake Covers

[VzVzVz]

I was looking on Ebay and I found these cool red Brembo Stick on caliper covers. Does anyone know of these or what they look like on the car? I'm thinking about getting them but I don't want the fake to be picked from a mile off.

i read somewhere in another thread that they fall off and the nuts come loose within a month or so and can damage your breaks and various other things.....up to you though!

They look about as real as one of these:

Don't waste your time - they look like ****, not to mention that as dylanstone said, after a while they will come loose, which considering it goes on your brake caliper, is a safety issue. Secondly, i'm sorry but there's just no way in Hell I would ever recommend to anyone to put some crappy piece of plastic on their brakes (pretty much your car's most critical safety feature) that really has no place there! If you want the Brembo look, either paint your calipers red, or just buy the real thing.

Why would you get Brembo brake covers if you don't have Brembo brakes?

Seriously mate?

Just paint your calipers instead.

i seen em to and if your not rich enough to afford the real deal i reckon their a sick idea but i was also skeptical on what they would look like, and with the whole nuts coming loose thing... how hard is it to whack a bit of loctite on em, keyword being LOCK TIGHT, id be more worried about wether the plastic would handle the heat that your calipers put out cause bugger havin to clean melted plastic off everything

I believe the loosening ptroblem of these covers is that they are usually used over sliding caliper type brakes.
with sliding caliper brakes as the pads wear the position of the caliper in relation to the anchor bracket changes hence why the nuts/bolts come loose.
You would probably have to check and tighten the nuts pretty regularly to keep pace with pad wear.
Personally I wouldn't do it.
