On my old 206, i painted my drums, but i didnt like how it still had marks ect, even though i spent ages sanding and scraping all the dirt and rust of, so im wondering if there's a solution of plastic brake drum covers? i noticed a fiesta had it the other day and wondered if that was anygood? and even out there?
