Refurbed caliper back from BiggRed, £107.40 inc VAT and shipping to me, using their premium paint finish (rust prohibitor, two paint coats and oven cured). Very pleased with the visual quality and the fact all the rubber items have been supplied too.

I refurbed the carrier using VHT silver paint from a rattle can I had lying around. Not a perfect match, but a heck of a lot better than where they started!

Finally had some half decent weather today to give KIMI 3 a quick spruce up :thumbup:

The photos flatter, but she has scrubbed up quite well :D

A bit of tarting up for the 2020 show season :D

Car is in the garage, so not easy to get a good pic. I'll take some more when out and about.
