Aw man, you can spec red calipers on the 1.4?! Why not on the 1.2?!

I'd love red calipers but I'm really not about to paint them myself on a brand new car.

Ok thanks for the heads up about eBay. Are they simple to get on/off without risk of damaging the wheel?

EDIT: Ah, no caliper paint on the 1.2 because it has drums on the rear. Shame. eBay for the centre caps it is then!

You would need the callipers painted red to have the red ringed centre hub cab - but that's the purist in me :). You can paint the front callipers yourself with heat resistant red paint but what do you do with the back drum - you cannot paint this - too boy racer. One of the reasons I bought the 1.4 was to get the rear disc brakes - stupid reason - but there you are. They were painted red and had the red ringed hub centres - this was only an option on the 1.4. Good reason for a 1.4 over a TA or even a 1.2. On second thoughts - don't think about it and forget the red ringed hubcaps! At least you wouldn't have the squeaky rear brake disc problem with the rear drums on the 1.2
 
Hehe yeah definitely will not be painting the drums! Well, I won't be painting the calipers either. I may leave the centre caps, that's the kinda thing I can think about later.
