Thank you! I really rate the guy doing the work on them.
Just ordered new seals and now it's a bit of a race against time to see if I can get them fitted before the end of the month when I'll be taking the car across Europe... fingers crossed.

Well, they'e fitted.
They look good, for sure, but not really sure there's much difference The pads and discs are used so I think new, decent new pads might well help, which I'll sort down the line. Right now if I could turn back time I'd simply buy some new OEM calipers (mine looked pretty crusty when they came off), buy some decent pads and discs and add braided lines... Ah well. PS, they're Focus ST calipers made by ATE, but I couldn't help but add Brembo stickers )

They look great on your car but yeh, defenitly know the feeling. I wish exactly the same as its not cheap doing the upgrade for really not thatm uch difference. But they do fill up the wheels better!
Those alloys you have on are incredible

Many thanks Dom, with a few tweaks the C30 can really look the part. I'll do a heck of a lot of miles in the next few weeks on a euro trip down to Bavaria so they will be well and truly bedded in by then and after that I'll know for sure if I've wasted all that time, effort and money... but with these calipers on at least the pictures of the car will look good!

Sadly, as I expected They look good though!
Is it just my eyes or do you have a flat spot/buckle on your alloy? Just under the 'ICH' of Michelin. Could be my eyes but it doesn't seem round to me

I'll be on the Eurotunnel train next week and the last time I went on that I slightly scuffed my alloys without even realising as there's a very slight kerb either side of the track as you drive through the carriages... I'm hoping these rim protectors save me spending ££ on refurbishing a wheel or two!

Looks like he's used the same paint as me.
