Probably Bigg Red if you're wanting them painted as well

I have seen calipers done by Big Red and would recommend them, they can fit the Audi ring to the outer face of the caliper before the final clear coat of lacquer.

I used Biggred for my RR rears. I had the anodised gold as wanted stock look but really pleased and would recommend. Fronts will go here in the winter.

Thanks very much, I deleted my post as had found them on the "net'....should have looked there first. Spoken to them and they are VERY helpful. However, thank you again for your speedy reply to my post, much appreciated.

Hi Ian, the chap I spoke to was VERY helpful and gave me three options on type of "overhaul" .
I want the callipers back asap as I want to get the car back on the road by the end of this month. So I chose the basic service and the price is £135 for two callipers. I thought that was fantastic as I've seen one in Germany albeit new for that price for just one. Big advantage of this service is at least you get back an item that you know will fit. The two other options take a lot longer, between 3 weeks and a month but I'll let them explain what they do......I didn't enquire about cost as just wanted the callipers back in working order asap. Hope that helps a bit ? |

Send the carriers too so all sorted. New calipers don’t come with carriers so makes it even better value.
Most mew calipers are actually only refurbished using the same castings so just as good as new. Fitted new hose discs and rear handbrake cables too👍 |
