Oooh, while you're at it... paint some holes onto the rotors - that should get you an extra 5% braking (but only once)!!!

It looks decent, but nothing real behind it.

I have to say - joking aside - they do these in different covers with a range of transfers.

I am very tempted to give them a try in blue - with no transfers.

I was going to paint them blue anyway - but these might look better and be easier to fit.

Any opinions... my only concern is the ease of pad change with them stuck on !
