They need to be a totally different colour than boring black (sorry :p) but other than that, very nice. I thought they were huge at first, dwarfing my old Wilwoods but then when I offered them up to the C5 calipers, they were a very similar size, from the outside at least.

Who do you think is more impatient, Amar or Footers?

I am only impatient when it comes to buying stuff, never can wait unless I absolutely have too. Leaving the calipers in boring black Amar as cba with figuring out where to send them too/if they will do the job peoperly etc.

Painting RS6 calipers in a bright colour is as wrong as a mankini on a fat paedophile.

Not all of us like our cars looking as bog standard and unassuming as possible so shush. If Movit didn't think that their calipers were made out of gold, like Loba and their discs, I would have bought Movits due to their lovely bright colours :rocker:.

I like the black calipers with the RS logos too, I didn't realise I was impatient as well as indecisive!
Nick - If you change your rear setup, please give me dibs on your rear discs and pads as I know you changed them out recently and mine need doing next.

Thanks, Footers. What fluid are you going for when you do your brake change? I am mulling over the Motul RBF600 vs ATE Racing Blue I currently have.

Never had a problem with Super Blue so MRC are slapping that in on the 14th. I like the wet/dry boiling specs on the Motul though.

Now that the parts are all on the way to the machiners, I am looking forward to the options that they come up with for us :) Watch this space ( but not any time soon probably...)
