Posts: 47 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0  | Brembos, AP racing.....etc Has anyone swapped the standard calipers on their GP yet?? I have the active sport which has the blue symbol and i thought a nice set of blue ap racing calipers would look pretty smart. Anyone tried it yet or got any photos?? are they even available yet?

 | Re: Brembos, AP racing.....etc not replaced the whole unit yet, but thinking of converting my read drum's to discs so will probably do the fronts to brembo's too. But if your just after the colour, a cheaper alternative is to paint them

| | Re: Brembos, AP racing.....etc nice find, cant decide what colour to paint the calipers though, i thought blue...as ive got the 1.4active sport, the lil' mans head on the back is blue, and my car mats,footwell neons are blue. but all my friends say red, which is also nice but doesnt suit theme, lol.
