Nope... Have 'Xpower' Green (or as close as) ones myself.

Edit: Poll modified. I put my vote in the wrong place. :slap:

The XPower green caliper seems harder to get now though, I have tried to get some, but have opted for blue with a silver ZS, yours will look cool with black mate:thumbsup:

Yip. Garden Green enamel (plastikote) from B&Q is close enough.

Is the B&Q paint an aerosol? I've heard not to use aerosols for it.

Nope. Comes in a small glass jar and you brush it on...

Ideal, I'll pop out there after work. Has anyone used the caliper stickers that crop up on eBay? Don't they get hot and just melt off?

Got the XPower vinyls on my calipers and they've stayed perfect for the last 4 months or so.

I think I have 4 spare (2 back 2 front) if youre interested. Just a matter of finding the buggers since I cleaned my room out :hmmm: Theyre white btw.

Edit: Just found em, I actually have 4x front 4x rear. You can have all 8 for £2.50 posted if you want. Its £8 for 6 on ebay!!!

I'm certainly interested. Would white look right against the green though?

The black decals do look nice on the green. Matches the colour of the car too.

well we do cheap tins of caliper paint at halfords going to get them on trade then mix blue and yellow and see how close we can get it then slap it on mine as green and grey go spanking
