My latest endeavour: Painted calipers

[serdar_18fr]

Hi everyone,

I just returned home from the garage, having a new useless feature that I've been considering for a long time.

I found this garage that offers the service of applying electrostatic paint to the brake calipers and I decided to go for it.
The color code is RAL 1003, named signal yellow. The other color I was considering was the classic Cupra copper but yellow seemed more attractive.

They claimed that the brake specialists they are working with is the best in neighbourhood but it didn't prove correct.
These so-called specialists couldn't manage to bleed the brakes correctly after refilling the hydraulic fluid and now I have a looong travelling spongy brake pedal.

I changed my route to home to pay a visit to my local dealer right at the time they were closing for the day, told them the story and they promised to get that brake pedal to the way it felt before, first thing tomorrow morning.

Anyway, I won't let this small glitch spoil the fun of having something new, I believe it will be corrected as if nothing happened.

Cheers,
Serdar

I really like those .

Picking up on your wheels discussion topic (https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/th...-colors-for-my-winter-tire-set-please.480581/), I wonder if the yellow callipers would clash with the copper coloured alloys? From your pictures in the first post of this discussion topic, IMHO the yellow callipers work well with your existing wheels, so should work equally well with the non-copper coloured version of the two wheel options you’re considering for your winter tyres.

Thank you very much for sharing your opinion on the wheel colour

After seeing the yellow calipers live behind my silver & black wheels, I thought exactly the same. Because of my long-running taste of wheel colour, I was already leaning towards the non-copper one. Now it's decided, I guess

Yes the yellow looks the best choice for those wheels, well done. Hope you get the soft pedal sorted as the be looks must come second to the performance.
