  • Brake Caliper Colour

    At the moment I have 3 blue and one unpainted caliper, so either way I would like to neaten them up.

    The blue is pretty faded and ordinary, but what colour should I go. Here are some mock ups:

    Orignal Blue -


    Yellow (Although I would go with more of a primary yellow rather than this goldish looking mock up) -


    Red -


    Green -


    Definately looking at more of a primary 'in your face' colour than a subtle job.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

    Also considering darkening up the rims a little:

      i'm in favour of the red because red goes faster.

      red with those dark rims would definitely look menacing.

          There is your answer. A little bit of lowereing would finish it off nicely too.

              We have a proficient Photoshop-er If you want to paint the calipers, I'd say go red or leave them. I've got some pics of Burberry-pattern calipers if you're curious - yes I'm talking about that tartan/plaid pattern!

                    I think red and the darker rims suit your car. Though personally i like the blue/silver HPA Motorsport theme

                              Well, to buck the suggestions here, I voted, and painted them Yellow!

                              Will take some pics tomorrow when it's light again since I finished packing up in the dark... again
