Those of you who owned Raleigh bikes in the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s. They were made just over that wall. Much of the old factory has already gone & next phase of redevelopment is taking place.

Hello Ray61,

Thank you. The photo don’t really do the car justice. I love the black/white theme & have decided to keep OEM silver alloys. Apart from the red seat belts I wanted a colour that would really pop out. This colour really does against the white/black & silver wheels.

Originally these were the grey OEM cast calipers. I had the high end paint refurbishment which included...

Remove calipers from car.
Stripped to bare.
Cast smoothed.
Base coat
Main colour
White Jaguar decals
Laquered
Put back on car etc.

Took two days as car on stands overnight at the unit. They are a superb company & highly recommended.

£750.00. Not cheap but wanted top job the only other option was the Jaguar red calipers at £1500.00. Bargain & bespoke too!

750.00 is way too much for a caliper paint job sorry to say
