Tomashhh! You know you need an Italian Stalion in your life, sell the 206 and get a Punto Mk2b!

JAMES Are you like some forum hawk or something - how in God's name did you find this so quickly?!?! But yes I agree, I was eyeing up this cheeky thing...

Thoughts?

Trust me though, it is and will continue to be on the agenda! It is my life mission to get a white GP!

I'm gonna chalk it down to coincidence haha, I'm not stalking you online I promise! Can't see the link, Autotrader links don't work for me on here for some reason. You off back to Chester for your Masters? Glad to see it's on your agenda haha!

Ps. Cheryl is looking clean!

 

[Lockwood]

Haha whatever you say

Yeah it's a White T-Jet, only 13k mileage, £5,500 and it's at Peugeot Bradford. You should go for it if you have the wonga!

Nah, university of Leeds mate. Will have to see you again sometime, catch up, have a beer!

Cheers, she needs a wash actually!

So I decided to do my calipers, which was not that difficult to do.

Bought the red paint from Halfords, which had many good reviews online. Used a bottle jack to get the tire off and keep it raised whilst I painted. The calipers themselves were rather dirty and rusty, but using a wire brush on the end of a power drill worked a treat. The paint was a perfect bright red colour, and after 4 coats (taking 20 minutes to dry each time) the first one is now done:

Done, and I'm really happy with the outcome!
