New calipers and nickle plated discs......
Discussion
After getting most depressed about my rusting calipers and discs I decided to get something sorted.
Off they went to Gerry and Simon at Phoenix and I must say I was most pleased with the results!
The process was as follows (Gerry's text):
Calipers were cleaned and de-greased
Calipers were then stripped, clips, mounts, bolts and sliders stripped off
Brake fluid washed out of calipers
Calipers and mounts shot blasted
Bleed nipples removed and threads protected with ptfe tape, nipples refitted and masked bracket bolts refitted to mounts to protect threads
Calipers and mounts powder coated yellow clips powdercoated black with bleed nipples removed and black oxidised (Gun Blueing), refitted
Calipers re-assembled and hand finished in "M" lettering
Discs removed and shot blasted
Disc rims and bells polished
Discs Bright Nickel plated
Discs and calipers refitted and bled with DOT 5.1 fluid

IIRC the calipers were either £150 for the four to be sorted. The finish is spot on and well worth it.
They can also replace the seals etc and give the calipers a service but mine are pretty new so didn't need the work.
The plating was around £90 per pair for the discs and again looks spot on especially around the hub part. With regards to rust, yes it does slow down the rusting process massively and if you have it done on new discs (that they can make for you) it also stops the rusting in the disc vanes etc.
The guys also sorted out the refurb on two of my wheels and again finish was spot on.
Can't recommend these chaps highly enough.
If you want contact details just PM me.

Yep you're right been out the last two days with plenty of light braking and most has come off now.
You do get quite a bit of vibration as you are wearing through but virtually gone now.
Cleaned the wheels etc this morning and looked great with the sun shining on them.
Now have to keep them clean -
