Had my yellow cupra 2 weeks now and really wanting to paint the calipers but im not sure what colour? theres the obvious choice of red but that just looks boring after a while. cant seem to find any photos of yellow cars with painted calipers tho :/

a friend did suggest Skoda green but im not too sure if that would work?
does anyone have photos of old cars maybe or if anyone has painted them on the mk5?
thanks!

I have painted mine in red, bought 2-component paint from foliatec. Takes a while to do it tough.. But the result was great! Sorry for not having any pics. I choosed red because the optional brakes are red :) Maybe i can fool someone? :p My car is a cupra in furia grey..

I always think stock calipers painted red looks a bit "wish it was" so I did mine "clean and tidy" Black.

i did think black but then wouldnt they just show up the dust etc? down the line i was thinking about upgrading to the racing brakes so i guess it would make sense to paint them all red. just wish i had some photos!

I too had a Fabia VRS with green calipers and was thinking about painting mine on my Candy White FR TDI, but I am still unsure what colour - black OK, but anybody gone for Red?
