Very smart Atik they should blend in nicely. Look forward to seeing the pics when they are on.

Looking good Atik.....but hand drawn decals ?

Yeah, I wanna get LEGNUM on the fronts and the Misti diamonds on the rears. I have some black high temp paint and I am usually pretty good with doing things like that but if it fails, I have plenty more silver Hammerite to cover up any mess.

They should be red, not silver!

What you think? It's not perfect, the E on both is quite difficult as the three lines are hard to get right.

I like it and am happy with the slight imperfections in it. Beside, they'll be covered in Carbotech dust anyway!

And Gib, they are only red if you wanna shout out "Hey look at me! I have big brakes! Grrr!" :p

And for the eagle eyed amonst you, I made sure that both calipers point the right way so the text reads inside the car rather than out the front (did that even make sense???)

It's not as good as I could have done with a pen or something similar. I had a crappy kids paint brush from Asda!

I'm quite meticulous with stuff like that. I was going to cut some vinyls but thought that it'll just melt and peel off.

True, my car is somewhat shouty so the red brakes work. Yours do look very nice though, good attention to detail!
