Brake caliper colour?

[Merv130]

Hi all , i'm pretty new on the site (well new to posting) and was looking for some opinions.

I'm thinking about painting the brake calipers on my 07 leon. I'm unsure what colour to go for

Any ideas?

Ooh white looks good only with a white car tho, mine are black coz mines black and they never look dirty, I did my old one in silver which looked good but again on a silver car and got mucky quickly

The calipers are on hold atm, the car is not right, had problem after problem.

I will be looking my money back i think. the back btcc bumper is a different shade of red than the rest of the car ffs

oooh white, now thats a good idea!

I have the same looking car... was going to do them red.. But i like the look of white!

Do you have to take the pads out, or just take the wheels off and paint them?

The bumpers quite often do come up slightly different colours-to do with the way te paint takes to plastic and metal

that along with....

new engine has been put in the car since new, no idea why

the bonnet has been off the car as whoever put it back on, has wrecked the threads on the right hand side hinge so that the nuts will not tighten and the hinge is lose on the bonnet. no idea why the bonnet was taken off

the car has had repeated dpf problems and is just back from a dpf and egr removal and remap

the car has a terrible flat spot/hesitation under enthusiastic driving. mapping it made it x10 worse so the tuner had to put it back to a very slight map. i have been told this is most likely fuel pump or injectors. the car has been in for the injector recall but only one was replaced as there was only one standard injector left in her.

i have two months left under dealer warrenty, i might just get rid, two many problems are rearing there head and i have been told by the tuner and a guy from seat that something doesn't add up
