Bleeding + painting the brakes on 172

[dansonamission]

just ordered some Brembo HC front disks, greenstuff pads and some stainless steel brakes lines.

Hopefully going to fit them all at the weekend and paint my calipers too.

How tricky is it to bleed the brakes?

What colour calipers to you think looks best on a silver 172?

 

[Neil G]

I'd probably go for red on a silver car

Black or silver. I will be doing the exact same next week.

does any one have any pics of a silver clio with light blue calipers?

Red or maybe gold! The local garage replaced my front hoses with goodrich but said they weren't sure where the other 2 hoses fit. It looks to me like they go between the body and the axle. Anybody know?

Really easy was to change break hoses without having the big problem with bleeding

I'm replacing all of my fluid when I do mine as the car is now 5 years old so I think new blood would be beneficial for the minimal outlay.

Im going to be replacing all my braking fluid too as mines 5 years old!

In a few months time im going to buy some black alloys so im thinking that silver calipers would be good.

Ive been looking at the team dynamics Pro Race 1.2, Pro race 2, Fox R3 and Momo corse silver (not black i no)

Aghhh decisions!!!

Got pro race 1.2 on my cup and they look sweet! (I went for silver this time instead of black). Black with silver or gold calipers would look nice. Not too in your face.
