Abarth brake caliber covers for GP

Heard about these but can't find them anywhere online. Have you camo across a store that sells these?

Re: Abarth brake caliber covers for GP

Indeed I did, but I've got Falken ZE512's on there now, which are far better than the Potenza's (Still on the rear).

Re: Abarth brake caliber covers for GP

Those look nice as well but these are true metallic covers that have all the logos and stuff. I saw a picture and they look superb. I believe it is an Italian company that has manufactured them.

Re: Abarth brake caliber covers for GP

It's 11 pm lol, I'll try and get one in the morning. They've still got the red dot, and green line on them, had them for about 3,000 miles now

Re: Abarth brake caliber covers for GP

Thank you abarth178 Has anyone installed these before on the forum?
As I understood it these are not attached on the calibers as there should be a gap in between because of the heating. Quite risky to install something between the tyre and the brake caliber...

Re: Abarth brake caliber covers for GP

I'd prefer actual 6 pots rather than plastic cover ups.
