Anyone see these. Just saw them in the latest DUB magazine

 

They look like just the ticket to trap heat in the caliper. If you have upscale silver coated calipers excess heat turns them a pretty gold color because you burned the coating like a marshmello.

I would run the other way. Get a carbon fiber door sill cover if you feel the need for a bit of CF style.

 

Has anyone bought these?

 

they sell "brembo" caliper covers on ebay,

i suggest not getting them because they're foam and require adhesive to stick on, like said above, ur calipers gonna heat up

 

Where can you get the CF door sill covers or other CF trinkets??

 

They sell the CF door pillar stick on ones on ebay. I Bought a set there. They tend to come off at the ends, at least mine did. Had them for over a year now and the finish is still glossy with no fade.

 

you mean these covers???? i personally wouldnt do it but to each his own i guess. Here is the link where i found em.

I'd get thes Brembo covers, but afraid if they would fit. All that measuring is not a for sure thing, especially from an ebay vendor. With normal driving I wouldn't fear overheating the calipers, track events would concern me. Any ideas on making certain these would fit the C class clipers.

 

they look like they can do some damage if they broke off or something

 

I agree, they are just Foam covers

 

those are from that guy- the neo universe

warning---if you bid and dont pay, this guy will leave a strike.
i learned the hard way....i was gonna buy, but i decided they were too cheap for $50.

 

Totally agree here, these will trap heat.

Another thing, I don't think F1 cars have brakes that look anything like these. The advertisement is very misleading.

Instead of a group buy, we should have a class action lawsuit!

I wouldn't put these on my car even if you gave them to me for free.

 

you are wrong my friend, these are not foam but a heat resistant abs, we have sold thousands and had less than 1 per cent problems ( caused by wrong fitment )

 

late reply i know but these caliper covers work no problem, get abs and not fibreglass, check out truck-leather-and parts-direct2u on ebay

 

Then put them on the Honda and leave the Mercedes alone!

 

also be weary about caliper/wheel clearance...

 

 

looks like something that will trap heat and look tacky at the same time

 

Doesn't the cover restrict normal service, like pad replacment, without cover removal? If so, doesn't that mean "popping" the cover off, followed by replacing the cover somehow, after the brake service? It is expected that the old adhesive would be removed somehow, then replaced with new foam double-sided tape.

The rear brake shape does not permit lots of surface area to adhere the cover, unless the cover has a complex interior shape that conforms to the caliper.

The concern I would have is the adhesive failing during vehicle operation. The rotational inertia would then be transferred, from the interior wheel surface, to the cover. It would then be possible for the loose high-speed cover to damage something important, like the brake line. That event could then cause problems for vehicle operation.

The image is my freshly-painted rear factory brake on my MY 05 C320 Sports Coupe with six-speed, as shown in my rear brake pad replacment post.

 

till this day I still think those "caliper covers"

give a way to calipers overheating. next thign you know you can fry an egg on your wheels.

 

That is what i was thinking. But hey remember, they have sold THOUSANDS, so it HAS to work.

 

ya man i like it when u can see my calipers though the mags

 

Sounds like a new sponsor, oh wait...no, he's not. A newbie advertising his stuff?
