Hi All,


After much debate i have painted my Calipers I thought that my car... being yellow would look spot on with yellow brake calipers but i was convinced by friends and brothers to paint them red, i hope in the next few months i will change them to bigger and better brakes anyway.

never really liked red calipers unless they were genuine brembo/movit's or something equally wow, much prefer black or grey. but saying that they dont look too bad against the yellow

I like them.
I did mine the same colour.
My last car a Honda Civic Jordan in yellow I painted the calipers yellow and although they looked good they didn't stay that way for long.
They get very dirty.

Always been fan of the red calipers. Going to paint mine when I get my new brakes that are on order. Sorry to hijack the thread a bit but Im thinking of painting my good lady's as well, Its a french racing blue clio 182 and was thinking of painting them blue (like the R32's brakes), opinions please.

Personally i think red would still look good on a red car but thats just my opinion. my mate has a red hyundai coupe and he has painted his calipers gold i didnt think they looked that good.

i agree the gold just isnt bold enough to stand out, looks better than just leaving them. I also also painted my calipers, Mike shall be having my 312mm disks and calipers as soon as i upgrad to a ECS stage 4 Porsche Big Brake kit.
this is mine now
