Neat looking car mate! will look tough with the VE GTS 20's if you go for them. I wanted them on mine, but i went for some 19's instead coz they cost half as much haha

Bit of an update on the weekend finally got around to painting the brake calipers and discs
i think it made a big difference and would definately recommend people do it for how cheap and easy it is


Heres what it looked like before





The discs after sanding them with a wire brush belt sander much easier then sanding by hand but still probably took the longest out of everything i had to do



Finished and all put back together

How long did it take you to paint the calipers?

Just a few pics, put the original gear knob back on, suits much better then the aftermarket one i had
before:

after:



and just after a wash



I have been considering getting some thin red walls maybe like 10mm thick so thought i would do a quick photoshop, bit rough and sketchy but you get the idea
Any opinions would be great??

personally I would say no but it's your choice mate.

I prefer white walls, but only when the car is completely dumped on its guts and worked!
