For £15 and a few hours of your time I highly recommend this for LCR owners!

Guys thought I would share this with you:

I followed this - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=122617&highlight=brembo+refurb

and here are my results, highly recomend LCR ownsers to do this - looks great, costs next to nothing and only took a couple of hours. I used this flat head small screwdriver rather than my fingers though as it worked alot better!

They wont last long...maybe 9 months if that, then they will peel again. Talking from experience

Well it's high temp engine laquer and its got 4 coats on it. Should last longe than 9 months - but hey 9 months of them looking lush is fine by me! They look a million times better then they did!

Nice job Tim! I found that some valeters use strong acidic alloy wheel cleaner - any acidic wheel cleaner will eat away at the new lacquer in my opinion.. Back to good old soap and water only for the wheels, or be careful with where you spray the acidic stuff!
