Brembo caliper covers
Does anybody know if these are the correct sizes for a 2009 x5 3.0? I don't care if you think they make me look like a poser because I'm not going to spend that kind of money for real ones.

why do you want your brakes to appear that they're something they're not? If you like the look, why not just paint them red?

I just like the way it looks with the brembo covers. It's easier then paint. More cost-efficient. Truly easier to maintain. I highly doubt it's going to make it look rice. |

Just stop trying to justify it. You're being a poser by doing this. You, I and everyone else on here knows it. Either shell out the money on the calipers, paint your shit or leave them alone. Putting a fake cover on them is gay and rice.

Actually I believe ATE is the caliper manufacturer, at least on my E46 and previous M and non-M vehicles.
My honest opinion on caliper covers is it just looks desperate. Just paint the calipers silver of black and be done. |

I'm putting them on the truck and I don't give a f$$k what any of you think. Never Asked anybody's opinion on if they liked them or not. Just asked if they fit of not! Lol

Everyone here has something stupid on their ride that makes them happy. I mean, I saw a thread earlier where some funny guy had BMW projector lights on their door shooting the BMW logo on the ground like it was the Bat spotlight! That's the fun part of this hobby. If your stupid is gonna be some caliper covers then God bless and I hope you enjoy them in good health! |

People who care about large calipers will know immediately what they on your car, and people who don't will be indifferent and not even notice. At the end of the day, its your money, do what ever you want, no one can tell you how to spend it. The truck already looks good with all the other aesthetic mods (black grills, and wheels) Quote:
Here is where the boat is for the summer, and the Mini is my wife's. I'm sure those aren't as cool as caliper covers though...

Ha-ha. This turned out funny. But didn't mean to offend you. Not sure you will get an answer because its rare to see anyone with them. Just order them or ask the seller if they fit with the measurements of your calipers.
Oh looking at the install guide, will silicone even hold at brake temperatures? Not sure. I thought it would be held by clip |
