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

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) :wink:

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