Does anyone know the best place to source new front brake calipers possibly sliders too? Cheers

I believe they are made by Lucas. So if Ecp/GSF have a Lucas version then that's probably them.
might be cheaper to get a pair refurb, they sell 72mm sliders kits on ebay
I got mine from carparts4less (aka cp4l the sister & slightly cheaper version of ecp), they were in a Pagid box but were refurbished Renault ones
Most motor factors do a return scheme (forget the proper name ) so you get a refund when you send yours back
If you buy from ecp you can take your old ones back to one of their outlets, if you buy from cp4l you have to post them

So the piston size for all Trophy front brake calipers is 54mm or are some different? Looking to buy new calipers and sliders.
All the same across all the 182 versions

Had a result with new front brake calipers, found new Aut-X calipers on eBay from Online Automotive, the pair £124 delivered. They are new fully rebuilt Renault Lucas items with 54mm pistons, also sourced new sliders/pad carriers £35.56 each delivered from Car Parts In Motion on eBay. Really pleased for £195 now the question is whether to give them a lick of red paint before fitting or leave them OE silver, hmm...
black..
i had mine done black, hide the dirt well

I bet they do, bit more subtle than red. Just seems a shame to fit them as they are then they will end up going a dark dirty silver, then rusty colour. Still fancy red at the moment though.
I painted mine silver and have stayed pretty clean.
