Nice car man. Those wheels look more black than dark grey lol
Caliper colour hmm.. Maybe blue. Or me personally, would go for a more standard black /silver paint

Cheers mate

I was thinking blue but didn't think I would be able to get the same as on the car which would make it look a bit odd. So yeah I was also swaying towards either black or silver. However metallic purple is also tempting ![]()

I would do them silver on that so they look good but dont look lairy!
12-06-2015, 09:25 PM
yeah probably would regret anything too over the top. Silver does sound nice tbf haha

Could mix a tiny bit of blue into silver, so get a hint of blue in it. Bit like moonstone lol
12-06-2015, 09:43 PM
Thats a nice idea that is tbf. I suppose if I got dark blue and silver and just kept mixing until I got close to the colour of my car it probably wouldn't be noticed that its slightly off by anyone haha

I'd go silver, will look fresh and won't clash with the body

Most people like me do them red if you want to be different you could do them lite blue to tie in with rest of your car. I'm thinking of getting mine powder court blue when I order my big brake kit
Silver is an excellent idea

Yep, another vote for silver here, mine are flaky silver, got to redo them at some point.

Ive got a silver 306 and done them in Hammerite blue which is a light blue, I like it as it suits the car, go for whichever colour you like the best

I'm getting a lot of hate for my yellow C8 Brembo's ;-)
I'd say go with silver, or maybe a solid gray could look cool! ![]()

I got red calipers on a black celica. They look alright but a bit chavtastic unless they're brembo's etc imo. Going to paint them black or silver soon
14-06-2015, 03:41 PM
Silver against that colour will look just right.

I think Porsche started the trend, they colour coded their caliper depending on if they were normal iron or carbon discs.

I really want to colour code mine to the colour of the car but I need to find somewhere that will do colour matched high temperature paint :/ I have emailed a place near me and they don't do it. Any ideas of anywhere that I could order it from custom and get it made up?
Thanks everyone ![]() Jack |
