    Hi Martin,

    red calipers are a pet hate of mine for OEM calipers so hope you change them during the refresh. If you haven't painted the wheels yet, are you sure black against red is the right choice?

    Good luck with the work, looking forward to the thread updates ...

    rgds, Paul

    Yes, thanks Jonathan.

    Paul,
    Oh dear, I am sorry mate but I opted to stick with the red, and am really happy with the way the wheels turned out.
    Finished inside and out with gloss black....

    While waiting for the wheels to dry, Andy (my now bestest mate ever) decided to have a play with the front wing to find the right pad and polish combo.
    After playing around, he seemed to find it so we were hoping for some great results from the paintwork.

    A couple of half and half shots of the door, didn't realise just how bad it was until I saw it like this.
    Sorry they look different shades of red, thats just the camera's auto white balance.

    All paintwork now machine polished, still one or two spots where the lacquer is a problem but not much can be done without a repaint.
    Maybe some point in the future but that will be an expensive job.
