Help needed....Brake callipers!

OK so my car is in for the brake calliper painting finishing off.......they have phoned me to say the brembo badges they have wont fit on, can someone point me in the direction of the brembo badges that I should be getting that will just stick on over the top afterwards?

I have told them to just get the paint finish right and I will sort the badges/decals.

Does anyone have a photo of red MY2010 NON-SC (I.E. NOT BREMBO) callipers with brembo badges on?

Or will they look ok with no badges on?

Take your pick, the smaller ones will be better as i remember there isn't much room on the 2011 caliper to put the sticker on, you can give it a try they arn't expensive, if you don't like them when they are on, take them off again Thumbs Up

Thanks JF - looking forward to some piccies.

The ones i bought from Ebay are 80mm from www.supergraphicsf1.co.uk.

They recommend not washing the car for 72 hours and not to use wheeel cleaner and a coat of hi-temp engine lacquer for protection. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

I did my calipers last winter, i didn't put any laquer on my stickers but i did heat up the calipers with a hair dryer 1st before fitting the stickers, and they are as good today as they were when i first put them on. Thumbs Up

will this do? Over the top of decals straight after applying?
