There's a bit of a story behind the calipers. I was having Poverty's mates until he decided not to sell them and. Then in was a case of finding more. Ended up buying new. Jonny at Brake Caliper Refurbs is painting them and a rear set too.

Jonny quoted 200quid to color change the Spanking new calipers I got.  Thought that was steep.  Just want rid of the Marque decals under the laquer  :sad1:
