Painting calipers opinions?
« on: 21 March 2012, 10:40 »
I am just about to upgrade front and rear brake setup and can't decide which colour to paint calipers? Car is black with silver wheels. Thinking black or silver to look standard, or maybe red I just can't decide!!! So gonna let the vote decide for me!

What sort of wheels and suspension you got? I do think it looks a bit OTT with everything standard.
