Question A couple of questions.....

Can anyone assist please?

My calipers are showing signs of oxidisation and the "Subaru" white lettering is wearing off..its an 02 WRX.

If I paint the calipers can you get the lettering on a decal or similar.

A photo of good ones would be appreciated.

Also, whats the max. tyre width I can go to on my standard 17" MY02 WRX wheels please?

Cheers,

Russ.

The caliper thing is quite normal..... but i'm sure that the logo isn't available as a sticker, yiou have to be careful with a little brush or roller?
And i'm not sure that there's anything to be gained from changing away from the 215 tyres that come as standard... wider tyre on the same rim will result in more tyre roll.... so??

Put some paint on a block of wood to press on the raised 'SUBARU' lettering.
