Did anyone notice the ///M logo on our brake calipers?

Post by Starscream » Sun Dec 09, 2007 7:28 am

I took the wheels off today to clean he arches as when I drove the car home from the dealer yesterday night we had snow and salt on the ground and when cleaning the brakes I noticed the ///M badge molded into the top center part of the caliper!

Would be a cool idea for someone to make some plastic colored inserts to go inside them!
That would look sharp on a black caliper!
Also its got the logo on the front and back calipers, Go on outside and take a look :D

Its pretty hard to see, But right in the middle of the caliper at the top where it curves so the logo is almost facing the inner wheel arch or inside of the rim,
ill see if I can get a picture

only image online I could find,

Obviously our calipers are black, But some inserts or a careful hand with a dab of paint would look great!
