They are a bright aluminium colour. Not sure if it is the cast alloy colour which may dull in time, or whether they're painted in aluminium leaf or similar. They could do with being gloss black to match the gloss black "shadow effect" on the Nogaros.

Anyone tried to get them to back up what the brochure says on this matter and had any success i,e, free painting of the callipers ?

Its a possibility for previous GTDs but not from now onwards according to Lee's post http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=260090.0

Whilst on holiday I received this in an email from the dealer supplying my GTD:

03 October 2013

Make sure customers are aware that callipers are plain grey


VW1209-13

Golf GTD brake callipers do not have the GTD logo on, as incorrectly stated in the brochure and price list.

This is a misprint. An updated price list and brochure are being worked on and will be available on Desktop shortly


So the answer is that they don't even though the brochure states otherwise...

On a positive note my build has been confirmed for w/c 3/11/2013 - which is a week earlier than expected...

The new price list still states grey calipers as before.  Nothing mentioned about brakes with the sport and sound option.
