Very nice! It looks like you added a little ///M graphic too. More about that for inquiring minds.

A friend recently did his Porsche calipers with the G2 caliper paint kit with great results. Cleaning was a pain but the results are bright and glossy.

Yeh, there is a bit of work in it if you want to do it right, I was lucky as when my new X5 arrived at the dealers 2 weeks ago I had them rip all 4 calipers off it. So while they installed the 6mm offset castor bushes I had made for the frontend it gave me a day or so to paint the calipers.

With the X5 being new the caliphers were clean to start with and when they were put back on we just slipped in the new ceramic pads.

I figured since the M-Sport X5 wheels had the ///M logo I put the same logo on the caliphers, it was either that or BMW decals!
