Yep, black too, keep it classy and subtle.  I can understand your thinking with the yellow but I think it will cheapen the look and as dubber says will only emphasise the size of the brakes.  Bright calipers only really look good on big kickass brakes.

Yellow will take all the class away. Yellow is for FR and Cupra's or people under 22

Hmmmm I suppose ... Might have a little look, white doesn't actually look to bad at the moment, not really that noticeable..... Wish I would have asked before I bought the paint  :cry: hahaha! Ey well I'll have a look at them on the weekend, see how they look!

Yeah, That sounds like a plan! Just need a breaker bar to get these wheels off now. Tried getting it off the other day and it was impossible!

Right, the car gets lowered on the 30th Jan, is 35mm not enough, I use it everyday motorway miles, and on my route there are speed bumps, I want it noticeably lower, but have been told I won't even be able to notice 35mm .... What do you think?
