Plastic caliper covers?

[Nick2008]

Hi all. just wondered if these would fit the calipers on my leon cupra? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Red-Blue-Yellow-Brembo-Style-Brake-Caliper-Cover-Front-/120595715657?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c14109649
all help much appreciated, Nick

Prob would - but may look shiiititteeeee............ just get a big tin of red paint

Also didnt like the idea of drilling into the caliper or hoping clue would hold it on alone, and if its vinyl letters they will shrivvel up and peel off as soon as there is some heat in the brakes.

Sell your leon - buy a LCR - Problem solved

Just imagine is one came unstuck while driving fast?!? Holy carp Batfish!

Also on that site the pic at the bottom seems to have a LCR which would have brembos anyway... But then there is a VW center cap in the middle?!

Stay away IMO!

lcr brembos are note like them and its like having a 1.4 and putting lcr badgers on

Get them they look great then give me your address so I can burn your car

im not going to tell you what i think about those covers, enough said

you all forgetting its not just the Cupra R that has brembo so having them isnt been a Cupra R wanna'be, theres loads of cars that have them, but like others have said, who the hell in the right mind would stick fake plastic covers over there calipars, like whats been said, Heat issue, if they came loose and the modding of the calliper to get these to fit secure.

Just dont do it. Pretty pretty please. Just paint your calipers yellow or something.

hammerite paint is your friend, thoroughly clean the calipers and paint them, get the smooth stuff not the hammered finish though

agree with the above, do ll of mine with that, the satin black is nice
