I got mine from the imaginatively named brakecaliperdecals.co.uk

Nice quality, and complete choice of sizes and font to match your original. All colours too, but I think Porsche only used white at the time.

I had come across that site on a search, if you're recommending them that's good enough for me, cheers :D

Yes definitely recommend. Fast delivery, packed with stiff card, clear instructions. Applied the set I bought to four calipers without a hitch, and they look pretty smart!

They look awesome!

My wheels have gone for refurb so thought I may as well give the calipers a fresh lick of paint, faded red/pink is not a good look :oops: :shock:

Thanks Pilch. I haven't got that super smooth, glossy look despite using gloss black caliper paint (though the fronts have a nicer finish than rears shown here), but they are a big improvement on original condition. Trouble with calipers is that once you start, it's hard to stop. The original project was just putting on new flexible hoses, but it escalated to take in repainting the calipers, replacing all the pad support plates, new piston seals, new dust caps and new bleeder valves. My 928 is very spoilt!

I'm not after a factory finish, just better than what there is now! This car is for driving, not just being cleaned and looking pretty like the 944 was!

Though I am currently removing the boot badge as it had a small bit broken off, hardly noticeable but I know its there so has to be done!!
