Im after an msport graphic/sticker for my calipers.



Anybody know where I can some decent ones? Iv looked on Ebay can't seem to find any specific for calipers.

Where can I get black caliper paint from? Went to Halfords today and they only do red,blue,yellow. The did have a tin of high temp paint in black, would that be ok?

I want paint from the tin not spray can.

Did they not have Hammerite in black?

Don't put the decals on, it'll look chavvy.

It's not an M car, so don't do it.

Hammerite is perfect, did mine in it... Avoid the decals though!

That's not really a valid reason, given that, off the top of my head, I can count 7 other ///M badges that were on the car from the factory.

By adding more that shouldn't be there you are devaluing the correct ones.

Don'y do it.

Yea Halfords do hammerite. Its an M-Sport model, and it does have other badges on it from factory. However I can see where some of you are coming from. I do want to do something with the calipers as they look crap.

So suggestions.....

Personally I'd just do them silver like they are from the factory. Bright and clean enough to stand out and be noticed, but without the chav tat.

Paint them in Estoril blue then stick your M stickers on. It might look like the new M performance brake kit available for the new 1 Series from the factory........................or not. Stick with black hammerite (smooth finish)

[curdman]

This is what I was thinking, but im unsure now....

Apart from four on the wheels, all the rest are inside.

Irrelevant really...

FWIW I totally agree he shouldn't put any on; but I think there are more valid reasons

It is true that your car has various 'M-Tech' parts on it, however the brakes are not one of them. There is nothing M about the brakes - they are the same as those on a 330Ci SE.

I would argue that there's nothing 'M' about a pair of door sill trims but they still had the logo put on them.

Like I said, they shouldn't be put on because they look st. He doesn't need another reason.

This x1000

If you really want the M plaque, then a front grille emblem should be about the correct size, plenty of those on flea bay.

Alot of you against the idea hey! Ta for all opinions. Still unsure what to do, but I do like the look of this.

Im trying to reach the middle ground, whilst not wanting it to look chavy but different. Instead of the manky colour they currently are!

[BlitzE34]

Has that no chavy? Instead of wasting money sort out any issues the car has.
