Think Ive ruined my calipers
It seems most people felt the same as me when I put the car back together
I've changed the clips to silver on that side and although better, only slightly I think?
I had the other side stripped down and wanted to paint it while it was clean so I used the 'Gunmetal' I had left from my old E89 and I quite like it I'm going to live with the car a few days and maybe the red will grow on otherwise I could cover it with the gunmetal or everything black???

Where they are. Look fine to me, removed the spring clips and used a small brush. Didn't take long.

I saw pastrys efforts today in the flesh and to be honest they look better in the warm sunshine than I expected. Maybe it was sun stroke ! But I still think a slightly darker shade of red would be better but in all honesty, I think seeing both sides today I do actually prefer the red .
