Don't be daft, save your money for a decent set of 4-pots or get some scrappers and do 'em up yourself.

I've heard of some things dafter than brake covers.........I just can't remember any at present

You nuts?

Buy a set of 4 pots, http://bbs.22b.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...;f=34;t=003654

Not a great description, but, they are off a 99 Type R, the seller is very well respected, and they are the right price for 4 pots.

Those plastic brembo copies are a joke. Complete waste of money.
You're better just saving the cash for the 4pots and in the meantime painting the standard calipers.

Yip couldnt agree more - a saturday morning withe a good wire brush on the grinder or drill

a wee spray with this or any other make you can beg borrow or steal

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAKE-CLUT...item20b64a03b4

then any old tin of spray paint you have lying about - this was an old vauxhall colour i had half a tin of - dont worry about high temp - keep your cash for the upgrade

then a cpl of £1.75 stickers - a blow over with tin of lacquer -mine are still spotless a year later

its a great wee job with a high satisfaction factor when its done

think i just wee'd!!!!!!!
just get front 4 pots and refurb the rears(braided lines all round and decent pads)and get the larger mastercylinder(think yours will have 1 1/4 cast on it and the later ones have 1 1/2).you won't need anymore than that unless your going big on track days.

what will the chinese think of next god only knows!!!!!!
