Tried Rich it was a nightmare with my fronts. You prob won't remember but I bought full kit. Acid dipped old calipers etc. It was awful job.

Didn't have right tools to get old pistons out. In the end bought brand new set of aftermarket calipers for £150 bargain.

Just resprayed them job done. Just have a spare set of 4 pots and still have a nice set of rear 2 pots. Want them all sprayed up same colour as car. Fronts are abit of a mess though. Rears came off low mile newage off Matty I think. Although he'd split the calipers in half which was annoying as I've heard there a pain to reseal.

Just wondering if they made a typo when quoting me.

Will double check on it and get back to you.

When you consider the work involved, plus the cost of parts and powder coating that price from godspeed looks really good.
