Well, I got my calipers refurbed at Brake Caliper Refurbs in Rochdale. Impressed with the finish on them. They didn’t break the bank, even having to get 2 out of 4 bleed nipples spark eroded out 🤣
Just waiting to get them back on Wednesday, then get them on the car along with the B14’s on Friday.

I’ll get some better pictures of the colour when I have them. In the video Jonny sent the Merlin Purple looks a lot better, he said in the light it’s 10 times better.

That looks like a really nice finish - impressed to the point that I would look at it and think it is a new part.

I’ve had that company stored in my list of many companies should I ever need mine to be refurbished. There work looks brilliant every time I see it.

So would I Roy, mine is just plain old phantom black. So I thought that this would be subtle until the sun hits them. Yellow looks great as well on the right colour of car as well.
