Rear caliper covers

For the life of me, I don't know why this forum will not let me post the pics I'm tying to post. But I'll keep trying.

Anything special about these covers because I see people talk negative about caliper covers!

Seems to work from my iPhone but not iPad. Go figure.

The pics in my latest posts are the actual covers installed on my M5. I had them on for several months with no issues. No falling off, no maintenance whatsoever. Viga used silicone to insure they stayed in place and they did.

I removed them when I started tracking my car to ensure the best brake cooling.

I hope Viga makes nice ones, but no one should expect what's in that picture

You are correct. My mistake. I grabbed the pic from my downloads folder without really looking. I've now posted the actual pics of the covers Viga made. Thanks!

Looks pretty cool! Curious as to what the weight difference is between the original ones and viga's design? Just wondering if the additional weight will throw off the brake balance

they are just covers made out of fiberglass so i'm sure there's no weight issue?

Oh I see. Didn't realize that. In that case shouldn't make a difference

Anyone here who ordered these from Viga have pictures of them installed?

Are these actually available for purchase or just a one off from a member?!

I emailed Viga a few weeks back and got pricing, etc. He makes them to order from that I gathered. I hit him up again last week and he's gone complete radio silent.... not sure if he's still making these?

I haven't been able to find anything similar out there yet...
