I've ordered a calliper kit from Amazon. E-Tech is the brand. Comes with a brush, some cleaner and the paint for £15. Will see how it goes.

lol, don't see the issue personally whether it's an option/standard or otherwise on certain models/options.

It's not like you're going to stick R badges and "Brembo" stickers everywhere is it?.......is it?

The thread has already been tidied, lets not ruin it again.

Whatever colour you go for I'd suggest painting the hubs with hammerite or similar. Mine started rusting after a couple of months.

I have the red calipers on our PP, but not really a fan. But I think any colour is better than the weathered look. I have painted bare calipers myself over the years, but only in gloss black to tidy them up.

If it was a factory option I would choose a more subtle AMG dark silver colour with the GTI in black. Think that might be a mod to do at some point...

Did my old corsa with that paint. Black the first time then I chose to reprint in yellow. Good stuff just make sure the brakes are clean before you do it. I did about 4 coats the second time because it took some doing to get the colour to really show strongly over the previous Black coat. If you've got a wire brush that's really useful to get the dust and any rust off first. Good luck. Takes a while to dry bare in mind. I did wheel at a time using the spare wheel so I could start painting the next after the first had been drying for about an hour. Found it to be the most productive method as I had no way of getting the car all jacked up
