Where are you getting them powder-coated?

Given i\'m about to replace my fronts, it would make sense to get them cleaned/painted first ;)

my mate used to own a company 2 miles from me they are still going so im using them, you should be able to find someone near you (saves on postage as they are not light!!)
i have plenty of time but you will need to rebuild them too so you will off the road for 2 - 3 days i would say

These are the colour for calipers:

Red = metal disks
Yellow = ceramic disks

Silver or black - as it looks classy. Red/yellow to me screams Corsa.
Unless they are anodised. Then they look mint :)

I\'d love white ones, but fear there may be a bit of a maintenance overhead :D

just refurbed my fd fronts and did them blue with blue goodrich hoses on the way, but you can\'t see them at all hardly because of the ms-02s wheels!
