Did you mean the 28th as this coming Sunday? If they are here by then let's for for that. Otherwise Saturday the 10th would be our next best bet. If I buy some black engine paint, it wountl be any problems painting the calipers would it? Just to freshen them up a little. :)

Yeah, paint the calipers ASAP though cos they'll need to dry before they're fitted.

sorry dropz.
do you think we could paint them when we pull them off? or would they not have long enough to dry in the 3-4 hours we take doing the rest of the work?
(im new so im sure its a dumb question)

We can paint them on the day but it is best to get a few coats in and let them sit for a few hours between coats so it doesn't peel or crack.

Are the billies complete strut assemblies or do you need springs and strut tops swapped over?

Hell yeh!!! They look clean! Are they stickers or like a stencil you paint with? Do you have white paint? Can do them on Sunday ;), just finish the right hand side. Masking up the lefts as we speak.

They made my day haha. Thankyou for putting up that pic. What time would you want me to come round on Sunday? I finish work at 11 am. So anytime after that is fine with me. The billies are complete and just need to bolt straight on. :)
