OK I've deep cleaned and sealed my wheels over the last couple of weekends and also spray painted the disc centres with matt silver as I was sick of seeing the rust on them (appears to be a typical VAG issue as had it on my Audi too) They look so much better but with the wheels off I realised just how grubby the calipers are looking.
Rather than just cleaning them up I will be painting these too.
As it is a black car - what colour do you think will best suit? I like the idea of red (prompted by GTD 2010's Mod'd car) but wonder if that is a bit "in your face"? Black is o-so subtle and silver is more OEM.
Tell me what you think?
Thanks

Kawasaki Green :laugh: :laugh:
I'd go silver :smiley:
-
I`ve been considering the same...on a black car too.
I think red will look like you`re trying to add a bit of GTI to a GTD and will prolly get a lot of criticism from the GTI boys on here, I`ll be going either black or gunmetal grey with mine, I tink.

Now there's an idea!! ;)

What wheels do you have?
Gold is quite nice, I've seen it done before. Blue would look too much like the old R32.
-
What about blue, same colour as the R32 :huh:
-
I would playsafe and paint them red, especially as they would standout nicely on a black car.
-
Yellow would look great :cool: differant from the rest
-
Red would be good choice :smiley:
-
I always liked the skodas when theres were green.

Black imo, i still find it strange that vw chose not to paint them in the first place. I suppose it's just one more area where the GTI is superior! :laugh: :lipsrsealed:
-
nar they don't paint the calipers properly either.

^^ Yeh you!! ;)
Hmmm tempted to to go red could always paint them black after if I don't like them?
-
I would've said red if there was anything else red on the car but otherwise might look a bit odd. Take SteveP for example, he put orange calipers on so wrapped the grill stripes to match which looked superb imo.
-
I know what you mean. I like the fact that that the car is black and silver only.
My worry iS that red might look brash !!
The more I think about it, black is the answer.
