Default Rusty Brake Calipers

I have a 05 model and my brake calipers on the front mainly are REALLY brown and rusty, has anyone been successful in getting them replaced under warranty? Got my 44,000 mile service due soon so i thought i might take a chance.

Am i wasting my time?

Probably - they all do that sir!
That's why I painted all four of my cars!

Not sure how you stand on the warranty side, but mine are starting to look a bit rusty now. I was just going to give them a coat of black hammerite in the next month or two.

I'd use G2 caliper paint rather than hammerite, from a heat perspective.

Or black.

I liked red, but gone off it. Must have been a phase
