Why does that Rover have Linglong tyres?

because ive only just got a job :(, was unemployed for 6 months so I didnt have the spare cash to spend, so it was either the two ling longs, or a almost illegal michelin pilot sport and a deecnt tyre, it has better tyres on the front and will be getting new tyres soon now that im on a fairly good wage :) plus oversteer because of the sheer lack of quality of the tyres is fun

Why not, you don't need to have AP Racing 6 pots to warrant different coloured brakes. You'd do well to ignore half of the high horsed, snobby shart that gets posted here and just do what you want.
For example I have a 'base spec', 'over priced', 'wallowy barge' of a car with 'godawful wheels' that I look at when it's just been cleaned and think - yeah, I like that a lot :) and I don't give a rats arse what anybody else thinks because it's not their car, so they can take a long hike off a short cliff if they don't like it.

To paint the calipers I just did it while they were on the car, whipped the wheel off and painted carefully.

P.S - The four wheels, with almost new 205/55/16 Michelin Pilot Sport II's cost me £70 and weigh about a third of the weight of my standard 185 width 15" steelies.
