Wow, well done. Bravo and on a very rare color " ICE Blue " not too many of these in the S version. Most I have seen were Coopers ( NON S ).

Do you notice a difference in brake pedal response with the GP2 master cylinder?

+1 When we rain the stock non GP2 master on the GP2 retrofit the feedback and feeling was not near as good with the GP2 master changed over also.

For the dealership can flash it with a JCW brake upgrade kit flash from the 4 pot ones which helps dial back the abs.

Yes, you could paint them. I have seen exposed sections like that for all Makes. Maybe something I can mention for them to change down the road if they can. Thanks for the insight.

Check here, i would prep and make sure they prep right as stainless can be hard to paint unlike raw steel or metal. A body shop should know how to do it. Might be better off just hitting it with some automotive clear coat?
