BiggRed or someone else for calliper refurb and plating

[RaceDiagnostics]

I plan to send off my calipers for a refurb and plating to BiggRed unless someone can recommend someonce better/cheaper.

Any suggestions?

Interesting. I need to get a pair refurbished properly for my Smart as new are very expensive so wonder how much it costs ?

About £55 a corner for the SL, so not cheap, cheaper with a plain finish. Not sure if its a flat rate or they quote in line with new part costs.

Have a look at brakeparts.co.uk, I don't know which Smart you have but Smart ForTwo calipers are £60 inc vat (exchange)

Yes, they can do either a silver or gold colour electroplate.

that should not rust and last better/longer than paint
