They get stripped down, cleaned, have new seals, pistons & bleed nipples fitted. Then they get painted and they're pretty much brand new

I am with you on that,the Renault repair kits are not cheap as well as the pistons !!!
But I just love powder coating, :lol: 8) :lol: it looks nice,and is very functional as well,road grime and s**t just wipes off,It also "customizes" your car I suppose
