I have a 150 Sport with red callipers and two tone grey/silver alloy wheels. I think the callipers look a little odd without logos of any kind, so I ask ye the Fiat Bravo Contingency the following three questions:

1. Decals or not? I mean something subtle like this:

2. Who makes the callipers for the Bravo? In-house? Dont want to put the wrong decals on.

3. Thirdly, and whether you like the look or not my callipers are getting quite dusty - I'm reluctant to put anything on them to clean them, I guess just a clean stiff paint brush is best?

3. I usually spray some alloy wheel cleaner on the callipers about a minute or two before cleaning them. Sonax, Turtle Wax, Nigrin - they all do the job. Works pretty well and keeps the callipers clean if you do it often enough (mine gets bath each week :D).

Just make sure you haven't used the brakes too much before spraying the callipers. I have this feeling that the red paint would eventually peel off if the callipers are too hot when applying the cleaner...
