Fronts are good as new - will probably take it to the Dealer to see if warranty covers it.

I'll be interested to see what they say
Finally got around to getting rear callipers changed under warranty - finish looks slightly superior to old ones but still not up to smooth painted finish of the front callipers. Time will tell how they wear.

Colin,

Were your rear calipers actually faulty?
Or just cosmetically "crap"?

Mine are now looking really tatty. Very noticeable after I gave car a good wash at the w/e.

Cosmetically crap - the paint finish was pitted and worn, front callipers are perfect, way superior finish.
This is the old rear calliper

BCS... bit of a trek but possibly something I'll consider next year. Thanks for the heads up.

Shame they put a stupid, unremovable banner across their home page so you can't read the actual page. Not good to attract cutomers.

Just ordered the "paint it yourself at home" kit for £36 for 4 calipers but I'll only do the rears.
They said Ferrari red is closest to the Jag red. I'll get the kit early january and will post before and after pictures along with how easy it was.
