wilto Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi guys, I'm going to be painting my calipers this summer hopefully, I have rear calipers not fitted to the car yet already painted red, but I really fancy the yellow on this RS. My question is, should I stick with red or do I go yellow as in photo. Obviously my calipers are nowhere near as big as those bad boys... What you think guys ??

TangoDaz Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I've got a spare set of front calipers that I'm going to refurbish then paint yellow when laying them flat so hopefully get a good finish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilto Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Put up some pics when you're done mate, I'll do the same, won't be close ups though as my alloys have some serious curbing LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Will do but don't know when as the spare calipers need a lot of tender loving care before paint can be applied. did you put a set of 19" RS wheels on your focus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mate, they're 18" replica's, were on the car when I bought it. Could do with a referb now 😞 some older pics from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 So you suffer from the famous lack of steering lock due to the fact that the fit stops to the rack? I have a set of mk2 st 18" on mine but I had a set of 17" originally so no stops and have full lock with out any issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilto Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Don't know if there's any restrictors on the rack or not, can't say I've noticed a poor turning circle, but there again it's been like that since I bought it, so am probably used to it.

TangoDaz Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yes the wife has a titanium with 18" wheels and the turning circle is not as good as mine is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
