Guys,

I'm going to be getting my calipers refurbed by Jonny (brakecaliperrefurbs) but I'm stuck as to what colour I want to get.

I was thinking go with R32 blue to match the R32 theme and R36 coilpack covers I'm fitting to the engine I'm installing.

BUT I'm thinking the Porsche Red may look better against the gold paintwork and black details, along with the all red rear lights I have on the Bora.

Please help me decide by posting up photos of your Porshe calipers :-D

And NO I'm not getting them painted gold! LOL

Also, can somebody show me how the brake pad wear indicator fits on 996 turbo calipers as I can't work it out?

No mate I stripped them down and got them soda blasted, powder coated and then rebuilt them with new parts

4 Spray cans and some Brembo decals and 2 days of spraying and this is the final product, not perfect but not bad atall!

Thanks! just need to get them fitted now, spraying them myself saved me some money and means that i didn't need to wait on someone else doing them, totally recommend making it a DIY job.

Anybody?

you dont just join the wire to kill dash light

 

[VR6Rich]

I mean how it fits on the calipers, looks like it has 2 clips but haven't worked out how it clips in yet. I know it has to be spliced in to the existing pad wear wire on my R32 brakes.
