Yeh, Andy at A4 Audi comented on what a lovely job they'd done - and they really stop the car now too!

But I'm particularly fond of red calipers - good job we're all a bit different!

They do look good now - when I had mine done, I did consider red, but with my car I thought it would've tipped me over the red tipping point. Though some might say mine was already past that point .... .

But Brian phoned on Sunday and he and Connor came to my place to pick up the calipers and he delivered them to A4 Audi yesterday morning. And they even helped me put up some shelves in the garage whilst they were there.

What a gent!

THANKS MATE!
no problem Jim just glad everything worked out in the end, (even though the shelf fixing wasn't part of the plan)

Glad you got it back at last
