Making Brakes Look Pretty

[Tezzzhead]

Hello

How have you made your brakes look pretty,
I'm after some pretty discs and brakes for front and rear.
No point in spending 3k on forge brakes as shes not a racing van.

However would really appreciate any help with pretty disc and pads for front and rear that dont cost thousands of pounds.

It's brakes dude

There's a thread or two on here about painting calipers, @Dellmassive made a comprehensive guide I think.

Or you could be lazy and get them done professionally for a small fortune instead, how big is the piggy bank?

I hid them with steel wheels and plastic wheel trims - cheapest route by far

I got a T28.
I'm assuming the T32 calipers would not fit on mine?

they will, but you’ll need 17" wheels, the 16"s are too small.

And bigger discs.

And bigger discs.

Soz, yes of course, those T32 sets on EBay included discs though.

I got 19 or 20" alloys on my van. So I could get some T32 calipers and Discs and paint them up then... tada
