HELP - Brembo calipers painted in Manchester?

Howdy, folks!

Seat Leon Cupra R 225 (2005)

So, it's got the standard red Brembo brake calipers up on the front. The thing is, they're heavily faded and looking pretty naff. I've not seen a LCR yet that hasn't suffered from the same problem.

Does any kind soul know of a place in/around Manchester that does brake caliper refurbishing with a professional OEM finish? I'd like the Brembo logo's put back on as well. I don't fancy doing them myself...

Massive thanks to anybody with some advice, thank-you.

Regards,

Chris Lowe

I know people do paint them themselves but I'm a fussy mofo so I'm going to send mine to Brake caliper Specialists and have them stripped and rebuilt.

Cheers, lads. Thanks a million for your suggestions.

I was kind of looking for a place in Manchester where I can drop off my car for a few days whilst they get to work and then pick it up once completed. It's just easier that way. I really don't want to strip the brakes off myself and leave it on stands outside my house for a week.

Basically I want no involvement in doing it myself, Haha! I'd rather pay somebody else a little bit more to do all the work for me. I just want the car back with sexy calipers.

:D

Any luck with this chris? I've got set of brembos which I'll be putting on my anniversary one day. Want to get them fully striped, rebuilt and painted in that high temp good stuff with the decals put on properly.

I contacted the "Brake Caliper Specialists"... You simply post them your calipers and they get to work and post them back. In total, for a complete full refurb and then painted with Brembo decals and return postage they've quoted £566.50. That's to have literally everything done to them. If I forget the refurb and just do paint then it's down to £319.80.

However, another company in Manchester called "Smart Wheels" quoted me just £100! I've asked if that's inclusive of VAT which I suspect not and also if they'll have a standard factory look with Brembo logos. I'm awaiting their reply.

I've booked mine in to have the lot done at Brake caliper specialists but with the drive in drive out service. They look awesome when they are finished with them.
