Title: Calipers
Post by: smiler 3029 on 24 October 2013, 20:36

Hi everyone,

The calipers on my Gti are in desperate need of a refurb and a paint.

Any ideas where I can get them done and a really good firm please?

Im no pro but have done them myself in the past with great results

A good wire brush off and smoothrite should do the trick.

What model Gti is it? How do you want them to look? Standard or painted, you can buy anodising kits if you want that original look

If you attempt to do them yourself, let me know how it goes as I'm attempting this near the summer!
