I'm very happy with my choice alex!

I couldn't decide to start with but I thought that it would make it look even more different from a normal fiesta, I'm so glad I did. Here's another picture of it:





Yeah those brembos look very cool but I think the brakes are excellent as they are and a lick of red paint should really set them out!

**Note to Hugh, look I've finally figured out how to resize images properly! **

Red calipers on a blue car would look cool, as they do/would on silver cars.

As for yours PinkRinse, I think it'll be a good job, although I would expect the calipers to be taken off for them to do it. Maybe that's where you'd spend more money in getting it done elsewhere? And those Pumabuild ones are only like double the price as they are powder-coated ones rather than painted.

I say go for it!

Thanks alexb, spoon1 & Parksey! I will get them done

Chris - I think the red calipers would look really nice on a blue car too! Someone had gold put on their white ST and it looked gorgeous so co-ordinating isnt always the way

Cheers chris for finding that picture. It just re-inforces my determination to get them done because I know they will look great.

Ok! I plumped for gold! I like em but I have a confession tho because it is done with Hammerite (hence the cheapness I assume *lol*) but I havent got A) the time or B) the money to get them done "properly".

Looks good. Without trying to cause doubt I hope the hammerite is ok for the temperature, I'm sure it will be.

*phew* .... Glad you like them guys!! I was worried then! heh*

spoon1 - Someone on the RSSTOC.com forum has said they've used Hammerite on their calipers on other cars as well as their ST & they've said they've never had a problem with flaking etc, so here's hoping! *fingers x'd*
