Very nice! Been thinking about doing this but since my X is blue I dont think it would look too good. Maybe black to keep the rust off and make these damn wheels/brakes easier to clean.

Thanks for the info, great mod.

You could try silver or titanium with the blue I think that would look well!

Thanks!! Its a simple and easy mod to do. Plus not expensive!! It took me about 1hr30min to do it correctly, then I left the X to the following day to make sure the paint was properly dry.

Nice mod. Now I don't feel ashamed to admit I did it too.

Nice mod!

I have a spare set of these calippers in my garage.

Wonder if they would be possible to fit on my X? They fit 355 mm and 380 mm brakes on the Porsche GT3.
