What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

There'd been some speculation and joking from Peter and I about what kind of calipers would actually show up. Would they be some babytown calipers from a 128i? Would I just get a heavy box full of miscellaneous metal scraps? Some combination of the above? Well, without further ado:

I had to run back to work before I could do any more than basically open the box, but at least I'm not heartbroken about what I saw. Oh yea, and I paid $152 for all four calipers shipped.

even if he has to rebuild every caliper (which i think he is anyway), he's still way ahead.

Insurance part out I stumbled upon online. $40/caliper. 10% discount on 2 of them for buying multiple items. They didn't care if they were Brembo or not--calipers from a 2007 Malibu were the same price. I took a gamble, because there were no pictures of the wheels themselves, so I really could only speculate on what I was buying.

The only thing I want between me and Ms. Swift is a thin layer of 30 weight motor oil and about 1,000 10mm ball bearings.

Damn, dude. Nice pick up! Plz plz plz do a full write up on installation as well as any rebuilding you do during the process.

Thanks, dude. Yea I'll document it thoroughly. Obviously got a lot to do, but it'll be great when it's all finished.

I don't want to refinish them, but something other than grey wouldn't upset me, if the finish isn't up to par. Besides, this obnoxious blue doesn't exactly command subtlety.
