Re: Refurbished Calipers
Just FYI, the decals on R8GXR's calipers are identical to mine and there is no way in hell that my calipers were refurbished previously imo looking at the state of them.

Re: Refurbished Calipers
Interesting. There must have been 2 versions. Google images shows that the vast majority of calipers are with the filled letters. I wonder how this situation came to be...

Re: Refurbished Calipers
Brembo run out of decals and have to buy spares off fleeBay.
No matter where you go, there you are.

My calipers arw like these but in silver:bam_bam wrote:Frosted steal grey with Porker blue Brembo script.Imola_Sid wrote:Oooh they look really nice! Tempted to have mine done now.
Matching mexico blue calipers too chavvy? Or leave them silver and paint the Lamborghini text in blue?

I'm thinking either stay silver with Mexico blue Lamborghini text or the caliper in Mexico blue and the text in silver...
My wheels are dark grey...
Re: Refurbished Calipers
The decals on my calipers are the same as R8GXR's too. Pretty sure mine have never been refurbished/painted ..
Re: Refurbished Calipers
@Imola_sid ; definitely think you could get away with going mexico blue on the calipers as your Bimotos are not a particularly 'open' design. It might be a bit much otherwise.
Using the silver script on them should look amazing

Re: Refurbished Calipers
Shopp, your decals are wrong then
Mine are the same as the op's. Are the decals on the C6 solid but not on the C5?
