Brake callipers wanted

[VXRob8]

Just bought a VXR8, previous owner has painted the callipers. Wondered if any one has any standard red ones for sale or swap? If so please reply. Many thanks

How about Walkinshaws - they must have loads taken of cars converted to Bathursts?

Thanks for the reply, I will call them monday and see how much they want to supply and fit, could paint them again but they won't look right.

I'd sure go that way about it, must be cheaper by far...

Thanks guys just thought it would be easier to just get someone to swap the calipers over, got a mate who is a sprayer so will ask him.

I think that the standard finish on the calipers is shyte. A lot of Porsche owners paint their black calipers red (like the 's' has) with hamerite smooth. Very glossy, and does exactly what it says on the tin.

What colour are they?

Does any one know the particular code/shade as I am looking at refurbing mine too. Think someone may have used little too strong chemicals on them. Also where I should start looking to get the replacement decals? Is it something a dealer may stock, or do they just come on the caliper?
