Yeah deffo, they will be beyond saving. As said though if the sliders and piston are ok the only difference a new caliper will make is it will look a bit better.

If you are not hooning it round the place that will probably do the job if money is tight. The pads might kick out a bit of dust though.

They do look shi t!

But for £60 (aside from your time and a tad of brake balance) what have you got to lose?
