I see your doing refurbed calipers with a choice of colours aswell which look really good!

Being a total novice are these something average Joe could fit him self or does it require a garage to fit these as the lines will need bleeding???

The calipers are easy enough to fit. However, I would recommend taking them to a garage that has the appropriate diagnostic equipment (not necessarily BMW). Before the brakes are bled the ABS unit has to be put into “bleed mode” this will give you the perfect bleed. Everything else is a simple bolt on job. One other thing I forgot to mention is the calipers are on an exchange basis. Another advantage of the coating is road grim will very easily wash off.

So thats £150 + my calipers???

These include the actual caliper and caliper sliders. They are completely rebuilt units with new pistons, seals and bleed screws. Yes they are on exchange.
