alpinewhite3series · 08-27-2011, 08:08 PM

yea ur right imma put either the BMW Performance or the Brembo logo either or i have the stickers but i gotts do it, imma try tomorrow afternoon on one wheel see how it looks.

Not only does it need the decal, but they didn't disassemble the calipers, so they painted over the bolts as well...looks tacky in my opinion, but to each his own.

taichi · 08-27-2011, 08:27 PM

Oh that right! didn't realize that until you point it out, mines removed completely for the job so it looks 99% like the Performance BBK.

The lettering is painted on. Decals will just melt off if you are braking hard. My paint actually yellowed at the track, it gets that hot.

I like the idea, but the bolts should've been masked or removed. I have original performance brakes, after getting an incredible deal from Dan @ United BMW last year.

taichi · 08-27-2011, 10:09 PM

Not sure about melting coz I don't track but make sure u get high temp decals. Just google it.

Ya honestly they are stickers. Got confirmation from Dan at UnitedBMW that the factory uses the BMWPerformance white stickers for the these calipers. Obviously a special type of high temp resistant vinyl, who knows, shit works thou and looks good. Getting mine done by Dan very soon.

Looks great!

ken1137 · 10-14-2011, 03:48 PM

Looks good

Why yellow...not that there is anything wrong with it?

I would like to see other colors w/ 269 style wheels

PM me if you have them...dont want to jack this thread.

escobar929 · 10-20-2011, 07:09 AM

i want to do this so bad but i would take the calipers off and paint them. I dont like the look of the bolts painted

Focusedintntions · 10-20-2011, 07:27 AM

Yeah i was just about to say...is it just me or do they look weird with the bolts and pins painted too?

duvinclunk · 10-20-2011, 08:26 AM

I can't believe the badging are stickers. Crazy for a caliper.

alpinewhite3series · 10-20-2011, 05:31 PM

This is what my calipers looked after the final piece was completed.
