VC you need to contact JPC and have his white R32 Brakes on your car ask him for some pics.

Trust me matey I know brakes and they would look awesome on the mighty V6 fridge...

PS Just the one wheel refurbed same as the other 3 for me

As far as my brakes are concerned, they are sold unfortunately, BUT, i would definitely have a set powder coated again. they look as fresh as they did when i fitted them. Being white, you might think they were a pig to clean, but not at all. some good wheel cleaner, a pressure washer and your rocking!

Honestly VC, they are brilliant.

What i did was get dave to send me a new set of calipers powder coated in white, then swap my calipers with the new ones, then sent dave the old ones plus some cash! great job!

+1 for white calipers. Much better than painting parts of the rim white.
