I got a mate to do mine, he took them, stripped them and blasted them down, primed and sprayed with UHT white paint and UHT laq
The Stickers I purchased from a chap on E-bay
Brembo Decals
They are proper high temp decals

Plenty of wax on them before fitting, keep the brake dust at bay!!

Yeah these are the rota grid drifts but the defo won't fit a classic as they are 9.5" wide n classics can't accomodate this.

The car does look spot on with those alloys and ride height. Not too sure about the White Brembo's with the colour scheme but better than the Gold.

the writtig on the calipers is blue to match the car, kinda whated to break up the colour o nthe side, the front has plenty of white what with all the slcear repeaters, headlights etc etc
The mud flaps drag until you get some speed on which is annoying, I just aven't got around to getting the decals off the flaps and chopping them back yet..... I refuse to take them off, I love the mud flaps
