What colour calipers?

[STU3Y]

I have a mk2 Leon btcc in Zenith grey, the wheels are colour coded to match cars paint, which gives a subtle/stealthy look. As a result people of all ages seem to admire the car which is rare for something with a body kit!

The time has now come to paint my callipers, however due to the all grey look I am torn as to what colour to paint them.

I initially thought red, but not sure if this will ruin the look to much as everything blends at the moment.

I have therefore considered yellow as this is slightly different and may look a little less chavvy, the other option was just silver.

I don't really have any photos of my car other than the one that was on my on the advert when I purchased it, unfortunately this isn't side on but will give you an idea of the look.

If anyone has any ideas or can find any pics of the same colour car and dark wheels then feel free to add them/comment.

The one below is from the net with red?

I wouldn't go for red personally.

What about silver? Yellow would stand out a lot.

bright orange

Silver may actually give me a good contrast but remain subtle. My only worry is will it look smart/sporty enough or end up looking like I've slapped some cheap paint on as it doesn't have the same impact if you know what I mean

see if someone can do you a photoshop of a few colours? give you a good idea

That would be great, if people could use the car with red calipers above it would give a good comparison...

These are really dodgy as its impossible to do with my finger on a smart phone but use your imagination.

Red

Yellow

Orange

Silver

i honestly think that orange is a good colour, plus it's different, end of the day it's your choice bud

I'm leaning towards it. I do like orange aswell but think its just a bit too lary/boy racer, plus yellow is available in hammerite smooth so cheap and readily available

I second the yellow, looks good against the grey!

 

[graememgparker]

focus rs green would look great on your car with a black seat sport decal! that way theyd stand out but on close inspection theyd look standard......sexy standard

Orange

Yellow

White

Tried to have another go to see if can get a better idea. Anyone actually got Photoshop to do it properly

Orange gets the vote from me.

I'm for Orange, but get the exact color that comes on the Nissan 350 or 370Z

 

[jocco]

A bit off topic, but STU3Y what are your wheels called?

 

[Kylep943]

You can call me a little bit chavvy, but I like the contrast if the dark grey and the red callipers myself. It's not exactly the same as painting some rear drums red is it lol?
