                    @GT500 - I have a set of black monoblocks... They could use a refresh on the paint front... could you add some high quality quattro or Audi or OOOO logos on there - BTDT before ?

                    I've seen these on eBay occasionally and always think the quality / durability is likely to be a bit pish... Maybe you have some experience of decent decals - I don't want the hassle of getting logos machined in and painted - thats just trying too hard If there are no decent decals then I'll go stealth mode - I can't be doing with Porsche logos on my Audi you know !!!!

                      Hi Paul,
                      I will have a word with my supplier. As long as the lettering is right thats all I need. I attach them inbetween coats of laquer. Decal sticks to "soft" laquer then its two more coats over the top, sealing them over. (never can come off)

                          the porsche decals seen on the UK ebay is very good. that is what i have used so far and never had any issues. However what Rob does is WAY much better.(im just being cheap! )

                            I believe my S2 is running the monoblocks (Porsche) calipers, one of them occasionally seems to stick on slightly causing that highly annoying S2 squeal until you gently press the brake pedal.

                            I've been convinced its the caliper seizing on slightly, how much for a rebuild for 2 of these calipers please.

                            I'm not too bothered about the painting if its adds a lot to the refurb, feel free to PM if possible, Thanks
