They do look good, just a shame you've been given such a run around by them

It's one of those jobs on my to do list as the lacquer is peeling off mine, but need to decide whether to upgrade to bigger brakes before I commit to a caliper refurb - might be easier in the long run to buy tatty-ish calipers and have them freshened up before fitting

They've been red for yonks. They were red when I bought the car from James. :)

Yaaay... I feel your pain... Mine hasn't moved for a week, and another week to go. 500+ miles in the XC90 isn't so fun when you know you don't have to be using it.

Meant to ask are the brakes much better Jim?

Yes, working as they should be again! +++

And special thanks to my friend, Brian! :)

My plan for yesterday had been to take the train to Clydebank and walk to A4 Audi to drop off the calipers (and they weigh a ton!). Then walk back to the station, take the train to Glasgow and then get a bus to work - probably arriving just in time to leave!

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!
