   This is how they came many months ago
   
   Then my brother kindly blasted them
   
   They were then painted and rebuilt with new shims,seals,dust covers etc

   Have yet to put miles in them but hopefully should be all good, I'm using brembo pads and Mintex discs, the pedal has dropped a lot(in terms of bite) but I new it would as I'm still on standard mc, but have yet to adjust brake bar(if I ever do). Thanks

    Agree best color for those calipers. I still have mine knocking around my front room cannot be asked to fit them.
    
    Looks a good job.

    Good job dude. Be a shame when they start squealing - they all do
