I see that a few people painted their calipers red and put a bmw sticker on them, do they sell caliper covers that I can just clip on to the caliper?

Thanks

I believe www.bavauto.com carries caliper covers in red and carbon fiber but I don't know if they make it for our car. I was trying to find it on their website but didn't see anything. You might want to call them.

do you a favour mate, forget that! get a VHT paint like we did and paint it, I got BMW stickers but in the end I skipped that... will look for some real big brakes after new shoes will came in Spring. Till that time I am happy with my VHT job

less dust.
