I have some white stickers from EBAy to stick on and the plates are at work ready to fit back on.
It did occur to me as soon as I'd posted that the transfer tubes were just not fitted!! It's amazing just how much nicer they look in red - I can't wait to get mine done.

I tried to painted mine red last winter and the caliper paint is lifting. I had to go over the PORSCHE with a small tin of white enamel, then I clear coated them. They looked good under the rims and you can't see that they were hand painted.

I'm going to get mine powder coated over the winter, looks like a repaint.

You could make your own Pesty, IIRC the unions are roughly a quid each, and the pipe was IIRC a quid a foot....
