They wont look like painted drums, we could even anodise these 'bell boots' instead of powder coating, which 'looks' even more aluminium. (they are aluminium BTW)

Sounds brilliant roland. I'll wait to see the first photos.

Can you get other parts anodised or powder coated?

Have a couple of fixings off the mini that look a bit tatty, think they are aluminium and would look well anodised or powder coated.

Fronts are always going to deteriorate quicker than rears. Bell boots should stop it showing though.

Bumping this.

Any news on availability, need to hide the rust and starting to look at BBKs as an option if these boots are going to take a while.

hi, the rears will fit R56 anyway as are the same size, I think another version for R56 fronts would be available depending on popularity of these First Gen. ones.

I was just thinking that the other day. It'd be great to see some photos of these.

were they actually made then? i only stumbled across this thread earlier whilst doing some research on brakes, and thought they sounded like a great bit of kit!
