The corsa C brakes dont have a metal clip, and it is very very easy to take off teh calipers on the corsa c, without disconecting the brake pipe, you just take off 2 nuts, bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt. | |

on mine where the wheel was covering part of the caliper, it was still that gold colour from new! Brake cleaner did bugger all except get it wet! Wire brush 2 get rid of any loose rust | |

Paint the silver or red... Siver looks best IMO... Just use hammerite with a brush. | |

Yellow would clash imo. I'd go red or black. | |

Remember to use heat-resistant paint whatever method you choose. Wouldn't spray them though, Hammerite is fine. | |

Sod that! hamerite smooth, its cheaper and lasts just as long just use some white sprit to clean, let it dry and then paint give it a few hours to dry and your away | |

I'm getting a New Sxi in the middle of march, and its going to be red, i think it'll look ace with red calipers, but i dont wanna take the muthafuckers off the brake pipes, and loose all my brake fluid, so can they be sprayed on the car? or can the paint be brushed on? |
