Hi
is anyone else having a problem with a white powdery coating to their calipers ?

Seems to be due to the amount of salt on the roads at the moment !

Any thoughts - do I moan to BMW - 3 months old and oxidised calipers or do I clean and seal them ?

ha ha...... nice one monsta. If you'd had 5 spoke alloys we all would have seen them before.....

Did you get them taken off and powder coated or is it an enamel spray can job ?

cheers

Very nice Mr Monsta - Can you do one with a Union Jack too?

Just a brush painted thing.. Done without removing them

Got some 'engine lacquer' and off I went...
