Managed to do some work on my car this today. It was either doing my oil change or painting my callipers. I ended up doing the callipers as I had a friend over at my place helping me with the painting.

The end result was acceptable, but could definitely be better. The yellow paint was slightly lighter than the wheel strip and the body colour, though you can't really see it from the photos.

Well, here are some photos.

Looks realy good, all you need now is some Auto Glum tyre dressing to make the tyres blacker.

Thanks for the positive comments. Painting the callipers is currently the cheapest mod I have done to the car. Hopefully my prep work is good enough and the paint won't come off/flake after heavy brake usage.

With regards to the rear wing/spoiler, I can't really confirm the actual brand as it was already on the car when I bought it. There had been debates about whether it's a Seibon or Mugen in my other topics. Have a look and you can decide for yourself.

Well, next project....... front spoiler to finish off my mod plan for this year.

Simple. Get Akebono brake pads that do not dust. They are known for that

Really not for me, they look far too "fast and furious" and the spoiler is gigantic!!
