Us too. If it's the one I'm thinking of the calipers had been painted a nice red too - really looked the part

Thanks, guys. The calipers are covers bought on ebay, very easy to fit just need a little trim. Lot's of people thought they were real. I can't claim the credit though, idea stole from Big Daddy Cain, he's an old guy who used to frequent this site(I know you are still watching)

Exactly the same as mine are! Now i see what they can be I am keen to get them done. When get the new tyres for them I am fitting 225-70-15 to keep the arches a bit fuller.

16" in black. I think it's a good compromise between looks, a comfortable ride and likelihood of kerb damage

That is turning into one very pretty Bongo
Let me know how you get on with the lowering - I want to get mine done.

OLD? Cheeky young whipper snapper!
The covers fool even more people once you get a set of discs grooved and slotted stu!
Got em on me work car too...
Won't fit on the sierra though... not enough clearance

Gasy, any chance of a full side shot with the steelies on? Good to get them in context.
