Seen these on a Leon.... I wondered why the brakes on the car was worth more than the actual car itself. Until I got closer and see these

i saw some of these on a 320d, made me laugh my tits off.
these have been around for years i thought, really can't see why you'd to it.
i didn't even decal brembos when i refurbed them on the xr2, no idea why you'd pretend to have something you don't actually have.
reminds me of M badges on a non M1/M3/M5/M6, but just an M sport version.

You would need to find a way to secure them properly, I think people use some kind of sealent like tigerseal or something but this would leave your real brakes looking like shit when you take the covers off at say a car show or something like that.

I might invent fake 380mm brake discs to cover your 100mm original discs and then you can add these monster brembo's
Genius!!!

this is exactly what i thought. when you need to change your pads removing these covers would leave a nice mes for you to remove - which wouldnt be easy.
