Brake calipers.

I'm having alloy wheels redone on Monday along with brake calipers. What colour would you spray the calipers? The fronts are big enough to be a bright colour but the backs aren't. I wanted red initially but worried the backs would look a bit laughable in red where they would stand out. Did think of doing them all silver and playing it safe. I do like bright in your face colours though. Let me know what you think.

A vibrant blue or even dark blue would look good.

I was gonna shy away from blue as it's to bmw-ey lol.

Yellow would look great against black... until they got dirty !!

I've gone red as I was unaware that heat resistant paint can't be mixed so couldn't have the gordini blue. I could of had it without the heat resistant technology in it but peeling would look bad.

I have red callipers on mine with black wheels on a black Collection.

We both have good taste then hehe

Do you do yours or were they professionally done?

I did them myself mate.
Just took my time on each corner doing 3 coats and was really pleased with the results.

Red is an excellent choice mate

Can you post any photos ?

Any pictures of yours bigjase ?

Tried to find ones showing the brake callipers.

Lovely job bigjase
Rather like the look of that exhaust as well mate

Cheers mate! Was a custom made stainless cat back from MIJ Exhausts in Wolverhampton. Cost just over £300 and has lifetime guarantee.
It’s not too noisy, just a nice burble.
