My Iq Got It's Fifteen Minutes Of Fame, Well, 15 Seconds...

[surfcitylocal]

One of my sponsors, MGP Caliper Covers located in San Diego asked me to bring the iQ down for a television interview that they were having with a local TV station. Up at 2am, drove to San Diego and was able to have the iQ on display for the live television interview.

The host is Dave Stall, "The Car Guy" and the tall guy is Mike Barland the owner of MGP.

I've posted some still shots and there is a link to the video of the broadcast. Actually had a lot of fun.

Looking good Taz, lookin' good. I actually quite like those caliper covers. They look much neater than a painted set of calipers. Lets face it, the regular looking brakes, painted or not, aren't exactly great looking on the iQ are they? I know they look better painted, and I'm only jealous because I'm not allowed to paint ours, but... but... damn! I'm going to have to work on convincing my wife it's essential to paint them to protect them from rust, honest. Everyone's saying it on the forum...

I spoke to Taz about the calliper covers. And looked on the site. They are sold in pairs $120 a pair BUT Taz tells us he has drums at the back and the covers are for front only. I have had a look at mine, reasonably easy to see as I have spokes, and I am trying to decide if the front and rear are the same. Any ideas anyone, BTW you can get them customised for more $'s Have you seen these

£80 for 2! The thing about these are they're clip on and can be installed in like 10 mins. I've seen other ones like fake Brembo covers for like £15 which you have to use silicon glue to stick on..not as convenient as you hAve to leave it to dry wheel off etc

Add $140 if you want them customised with say Jordan iQ on them

Might paint mine yellow..think it'll go well with the red car on bronze/gunmetal wheels. Like a Ferrari but an iQ

stumped for a colour for a white car, Black springs to mind but its dark there anyway.. See red would be good but nothing else I have is red so it would seem a random colour.

I cant work out how they stop the brake dust though!

Fish, the covers help to keep the dust from blowing out the side of the caliper and onto the wheel. The edge of the caliper cover is rounded in rather than just being flat and allowing the dust to just fly by.

They can engrave anything you 'd like on the covers. Mine were color matched with the Toyota Blizzard Pearl paint.
