I would paint the callipers if I were you and save the money for the next car as suggested.

I keep on trying to resist the urge to buy a 911, but my wife keeps reminding me that parking a £80-£100k car on the road and driving it for around 2,000 miles a year in London doesn’t make much sense! She’s probably right, hence still indulging the motorbike route with my custom build flat tracker / scrambler well under way.

Thanks, Hawkeye.

I agree with Mrs Hawkeye. :) Unless you can afford to keep the 911 as a pure weekend toy ;)

You'll probably spend far less & have more fun on a bike!

If you really, really want yellow calipers, get them painted.....and use the £5K balance on a Caribbean holiday👍😎

However painting calipers makes them yellow. It makes them look like you wanted Ceramic brakes but were too tight to tick the box.

Just get the PCCB`s Wingco...!
There wont be many other 911T`s with those fitted so will make it pretty unique!
It will also be a great talking point when meeting other Porsche enthusiasts and the colour coding is the icing on the cake!
If it makes you happy knowing you have them...go for it!

Agreed, Tom. As the PCCBs benefit from much bigger brakes. 410mm v 330mm discs I believe... :ugeek:

If you ask enough people, someone will agree with you and confirm the course of action you were always going to take! [emoji16]

Ha ha! :lol: Yeah, I know, Hawkeye. Am giving myself the weekend to decide. I do tend to be impulsive with these things (as forum members may have noticed over the last 2 years!) but am gathering input from this forum, the OPC, PCGB and Rennlist... :ugeek:
