I changed the oil of my run around fiesta today… well, I say oil as it was more like treacle!!! It makes me wonder if the monkey who changed it last actually changed it…

I'm very much liking those bronze ones, like them very much indeed. Don't think they will look good on mine but still very nice. I may go down the red route when I can get time to get them done but I'm in no rush |

Cheers BarmyBrummie. I had a bit more of a look around an am liking the idea more. I found a Khan monstrosity which, apart from the (imo) ott body kit had them (and lots of other bronze bits here and there) and while I didn’t like how it all looked, those wheels with the bronze worked well. I’ll see if I can find it and will post a picture.

I think it depends on the rest of the car. To me red callipers are overdone, especially so on diesel range rovers and Audi q series. It is why I refurbished mine in just a simple nice black, and painted the wheel hubs black as well. Anyone who knows these cars know they have big brembo callipers anyway. And heck when at the traffic lights I can often see people look inside those 22" wheels and big brakes.

Those overfinch Calipers on the bcs website would look the business in red, but everyone’s taste is different. On that note, are the Calipers that say overfinch the same as the standard Calipers? |

Bl4ckdog, I don't understand why you say 'especially so on diesel Range Rovers'? |

The red callipers was a thing for performance vehicles with Brembo. Diesels aren’t those performance vehicles. You see them more nowadays on the diesels. And it’s not just Range Rover. Mercedes and Audi are just a “guilty” with their AMG line and S Line versions on low powered vehicles. It’s become a joke and actually represents the opposite.

Some people must be so upset when a diesel powered car won at Le Mans, after all LeMans is the premium “performance car” race. |

Ok. I never related the colour of the calipers to the performance of the vehicle. Were yours originally red then? |

LoL LeMans. Congrats you’ve found an outlier. But as per gauss that will be eliminated 🤣

Today I treated my FF to an oil change and filter change. I also swapped the air filter for the smaller turbo, but left the other filter for another day as the screws on the air box looked worse for wear. I’ll order those then will finish that off.
