I've just had my calipers painted in candy apple red.

Yep ! ..... really like that I've been looking into a caliper job too, as fitting something like FORGE means you can't put your spare on if and when necessary.

- is yours ceramic or enamelling ?
- are you running a T32 and associated standard T32 calipers ?
- where did the black Raceline logo come from ?

Hi Shredder

I got them done at BCS in Long Eaton Notts.

10 year guarantee on paint and they painted the logo on for me.

Good set of lads and very highly recommended.

I chose the drive in service,they had my van for two days then all was complete.

Alternatively you can send in your Calipers .

I’m running a T30 204 with the VW big brakes as standard on my van.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Jas .... will definitely look into those guys. Cheers

UPDATE: phoned them. With your strong recommendation and their excellent help and attitude on the phone I'm going with these guys. Thanks again !

Great News Shredder

You’ve just got to chose your colour as they can do anything you wish for.

Let them know you found them on recommendation.

They have a good Facebook page as well.

Post a pic when you’ve got them done.

Hi @jaseo204

Can you give me some info on these awesome wheels please. They are some stylish rims fella.

What size and can they take the weight of a T32?

I did mention straight away that I had found them through you and T6 Forum recommendation. It actually works well, as this Forum is so huge and influential on our endemic 'customisation disease' and consequential shopping They also told me to look on their Facebook page for ideas.

Spent the afternoon choosing the colour and logo design after deciding to go for the premium 'ceramic like' finish option.

I'm a very happy camper thanks

 

[jaseo204]

Very nice IMHO. Does fitting the tyres risk damaging the coat, or is it really tough?

It’s really tough

Hi Simmo

They are AXE EX30 20”

I’m running 255/40/20 tyres with no rubbing,the van is dropped 50mm on Eibach springs with B8 Shocks.

Mines a T30,I don’t know about the T32 for load rating.

Bought the wheels from Demon Tweeks as they had the best price.

Hope this helps.

Jaseeo ... how did your rear calipers turn out ??

I notice after looking more closely, the rear calipers are quite small and seem to have what looks like a square plastic plate on the outward face.

How did yours come up and did you have a logo on them or just the front set ?? Any pics of rears ??

Cheers

Hi again Shredder

I got my rear calipers painted the same colour as the fronts but with no logo,i haven't noticed any plastic plate but ill take a look an d you a photo.

The guys at BCS will smooth out the casting marks on all your calipers for an addition charge,worth doing for a superb finish.

Cool thanks Jaseo

I had a chat with them about it. Extremely knowledgeable. From experience, they knew no logo could be put on T6 rear calipers. I had a look on the van on collection day and they are spot on.

So, as you say, I've gone for the high-end finish to give the calipers as much of a Brembo finish as possible but can only have the logo on the front. The fact no logo can go on the rears saves a shed load ££ too

The more I look at those standard rough silver calipers the more dissatisfied I get. They stand out like a sore thumb to me now with my particular styling choices

I'm all all booked in for week beginning 16th thanks .... can't wait

There you go Shredder,some more caliper porn.

 

[Peatey]

Those were going to be my next wheels and are top of my list at the moment, along with about 8 other sets i like,
oh well that will change by tonight i'm sure.
im struggling to find a caliper colour that really goes with a blackberry van, but that's the least of my problems at the moment

Awesome ..... looks like you went candy red ? Even without a logo that looks infinitely better than standard
