Guest Shez Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi, Anyone know where I can get some supra brake caliper *covers from or any useful contacts who might be able to help? I do not want to paint my calipers or use any decals. Please drop a message if you have any info in regards to this, your help will be very much appreciated Thanks, Shez.

DodgyRog Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't think this thread is going to be pretty:innocent: Generally these covers are frowned on and are thought of as dangerous and pointless. I take it you mean this sort of thing http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gold-Caliper-cover-kit-brake-Toyota-Matrix-Solara-Supra-/270552444737?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3efe2eaf41 Why are you against painting and adding a decal, but happy to add glue and plastic ? Good luck with the thread;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Mmm. Not exactly a recommended addition to a car, but if you're that insistent, eBay is probably your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The best usefull info i can give you is don't do it, if you want nice new looking calipers either refurb yours and i recomend having a look at the piston outer seals while your do so or buy new calipers.

Paul Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 They're beginning to end up something like the poor old RS Turbo Escorts Many will be ruined with only a few decent examples surviving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds perfectly fine to me....most spend 2-3K on crappy brakes due to the number of pistons and the colour of the caliper - think Shez is smarter than most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 only advice i have for you is dont go caliper cover route, brakes get hot and that heat isnt ment to be kept around, if i were you i would have a look on ebay, coz it sounds most of your mods are going to come from there anyway, some black, heat proof paint and a set of supra decals from this guy ive just bought a set the other day http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350344077054&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT if you do go the route ive talked about get some copper grease to grease the sliders up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Im trying to seriously get my head round this but im struggleing with it to be honest, this almost rates at a similar level to putting flamer kits in your exhaust or those things that make your car sound like its got a turbo. I've either got very old or im missing something or im just not into crap like this or all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Exactly cut it out guys, your ping pong comments don't change the fact Shez has unveiled an ingenious solution to an age old supra ownage issue. size matters and so does colour........sometimes they go hand in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets cover up my shitty looking brakes with a plastic brembo lookalike cover ??? oh dear god whatever next ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 No sure DnK what the issue is. Shez - perhaps you can organise a GroupBuy starting with a poll to see what three are most in demand (so many choices and colours we have to keep things simple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 so what you buying imi ? also what will be the options on this poll lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Actually i do have an issue and its the fact that a grown man with a love for his car will do this to it. Ive just read the ebay advert and seen these are just stuck together onto your caliper with silicon ??????? Imi im sorry mate im honestly not having a go at you or Shez but this stuff really is rubbish and no supra not even an uncared for shed deserves this.
