Maybe a daft question :-)

They are sh*t sorry. :thumbdown:

 

They are made for the Max Power kids in their 1.1's with rubbish brakes. Honestly why on earth would you want to cover up genuine Brembo's with fake Brembo covers?

 

It's easy enough to repaint the calipers if they look that bad or if you just want a change of colour plus you can get the genuine decals to put back on once you've painted them. Check out Brads Brembo's after he repainted them for an example; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/85138-brads-fiddy-gt-new-brakes-pg4/page__st__60

Doesn't hurt to ask Jimmy. Red calipers will look great with your lovely black roadster. B)

Post number 49 in this thread shows brake calipers being painted in situ in case this is easier for you; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84528-supplies-arrived-the-reveal/page__st__40

Also check the size of the Brembo decals before you rub/remove them off the calipers.

 

There are plenty on eBay like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-90MM-and-2X-75MM-BREMBO-WHITE-BRAKE-CALIPER-DECALS-STICKERS-HIGH-TEMP-/111072267019?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19dc6c4b0b

 

For best results I'd lacquer over the top of the decals once you've put them on the calipers but that's probably just over kill & really not a necessity. :thumbs:

No it's a good point stop them getting mucked up, ordered me kit so wish me look should be ok I think, I'm gonna take them completely off, thanks for the link

No problem at all. :thumbs:

 

Maybe take some pictures as you go if you can to guide others who may be thinking of doing it in the future. Good luck. :)
