Default What colour bells?

I'm just about to buy a set of APs and I can get the bells for the discs anodised in the price. What colour would you go for on an Escort Cossie? Anyone got any pics?

Martin, how much do you do them for? Can you give me full details of the whole kit please? I was going to order from Mr Rainbird but let me know what you can do for me as I've now got the money for it all.
ps I will need it posting as well so an all-in price would be great.

So if I went for the gold bells I would get them quicker would I? Because he was saying that it would take 10 days for the bells to be anodised.

Oh, by the way Martin, I've also been thinking about maybe uprating the rear brakes to a 300mm on the standard callipers? Do you do those sort of things, and if so could you give me a price. I've seen someone on E-BAY doing them but I wondered whether you could do any better deal?

Gold looks .



You can have them hard anodised grey at extra cost, but I personally think gold looks good with a red car (in my totally unbiased opinion ).

356 x 32s with AP 6-pots are Ł1400

378 x 32s with AP 6-pots are Ł1700

Yes, I like the gold, and my rear callipers have been painted gold. Now there's a quandry, to go for the 356 or the 378mm. The 378 would be well sexy. Is that the 378 you've put the pic up of Mike?

Yes, mine are 378s . I know 356mm will fit behind Rondells, but not sure on 378s?

White wheels are for people with small willies .

Ah, righto, maybe I'll be going for the 356s to be safe then. It doesn't need more than that anyway to be honest.

Franco, they look fab!

Yes, I'd be the same. The amount of miles I do in mine I'd never need to replace them while I owned the car.

I tryed to fit my rondells over my 380, 6 pots and i have mine set back 7 mm as well and there was no way it was going to fit but if you used a smaller caliper than what i have then may be it can be done. here are my new front brakes

Be grateful that you haven't the same brake discs as Dave and I, these cost a wapping Ł646.20 a pair < real tears . Luckily they last 3 years .
