red doesn't go with grey..... for me the red is what makes it stand out in terms of grill and callipers :whistle:

out of those i'd go for the blue for this reason



i think to pull it off brake colours need a change of colour and some powder blue rims and a healthy drop

Think im set on this, Blue with black badge. just looks nice, quite subtle and im my opinion goes better than the red:

That looks quite good but as wigit said, think you will need to do the calipers too, otherwise the red ones will be at odds with it would be too many colours going on, especially if you go with bronze wheels.  Bronze/blue colour combo with black badge much better than some of the other harsh acid colours, imo.

RocketRoss, I had a carbon grey GTI and I thought the red looked great against the dark background. None of those colours you propose are an improvement on the original red. You will make the car look different but it won't look better [IMO] Save yourself the trouble and keep the car original mate.

Looks good if you want a different look to oem, as has been said though you need to tie the blue accent colour in elsewhere on the car.

I used to have a pic of a black GTi with blue strips with bbs split rims with blue centres which looked good, sadly its on my home pc which is currently dead  :embarrassed:

I agree with Rick - keep it as it is.
Other colours look like an 18 year old's Halford mod and nobody will want to buy it when you come to sell it.

Each to their own though - the world would be a dull place if we were all the same.
