Default TACKY OR NOT!!!?????????

Got hold of some FOCUS RS BREMBO,S for my all round brake conversion.Did'nt like them silver so repainted them red,with new decals.




Anyway decided to mod my rear COSSIE 2WD calipers to match the fronts.

My question is do they look tacky as i'm still not sure about them??






And this is what they look like on the car.All comments welcome

I think its tacky with Brembo on the rears when they're not Brembo calipers.A bit like all the all the chavved up nova's with Turbosystem's stickers on them that are'nt turbocharged and never darkened Tony's door's!!! Regards,Micky

I know they are not BREMBO'S.. Just wanted them to match the fronts.

As for the tape,my car goes so fast ,it needs tape to stop the g-force ripping the kit off.
