I find myself in need of having my calipers repainted, and my wheels need a small refurb and painting. I don't have anywhere to do this myself (Street parking only..) so ideally was after somewhere that offers the facility to do it for me. Not in a rush as the car isn't a daily. Anyone know of anywhere? Preferably near London / Lincs / A decent train station if not!
There's a guy on 197 / 200.net who does calipers, can't remember his username but he does them on an exchange basis for the Clios
I've used him with no issues http://www.rsmegane.com/showthread.php?350-UB-R26-Blog&p=34245&viewfull=1#post34245
I've used him with no issues. New seals, bleed nipples http://www.rsmegane.com/showthread.php?350-UB-R26-Blog&p=34245&viewfull=1#post34245
I had mine painted at a place in Long Eaton. New nipples but not seals. Paint finish is fantastic, very professional!
I have put my name down on his list. His name is Stephen. Here is the info he posts on the other forum. Hope he doesn't mind me doing this: Ill refurbish the calipers to the design you want, Ill P.M you saying they are ready to be dispatched and you paypal me the money. When you receive the new calipers and fit them to your car, you'll then send me your old calipers (Remove pins and pads please). Ill then inspect them and if everything is okay Ill refund the safety deposit. With rear calipers, send me the caliper mount as well so this can be painted at the same time. FRONT CALIPER PRICE Bleed Valves = £ 7 Seal kit = £ 35 Paint and stickers = £ 20 (May change according to calliper colour and design) Postage = £ 20 (Parcel force 48 hour) Labour = £ 45 Safety deposit (Refunded when I receive your old calliper’s) = £ 60 Total = £ 177 REAR CALIPER PRICE Seal kit = £30 Bleed Valves £7 Paint = £15 Labour = £70 (This is higher to fronts due to the extra work in assembly of calipers) Postage = £15 Safety deposit = £60 Total = £197 If you have both front and rears done, then postage will be £25 total. Front and rear combined total = £364
I suppose the issue would be him having stock of Megane callipers to get the ball rolling? Anyone able to point him over here?
Cheap ones here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141327026089 might be useful to someone to send to get refurbed I refurbed some sets on the other forum for people, never charged as much as the kid on clio197 but looks like he does a good job to.
They are so easy to change yourself as long as your handy with the spanners. And know how to bleed brakes.
