Caliper Colours - Which Looks Best?

Postby Exactmax - Thu May 10, 2012 5:00 pm

Which colours do you think looks the best? Currently they are painted red but I might go for the yellow?

I photoshoped the red caliper a bit too much hence it looks a bit bright! In real life its almost the same colour as the bodywork... Thanks for the feedback so far :D

If the caliper was bigger (ie. not sad looking) then I'd say yellow to make it stand out. Voted red so it's in-keeping with the car and doesn't draw attention to itself.

Agree, but I'd be going for black.
There's no point showing off standard bmw brakes, there're adequate but by no means good, if you had some big planet stoppers I'd say paint them as bright as you want, but painting oem brakes is a little bit chavtastic

I love red calipers and have those on mine, but unless your going to upgrade such as to E46 330 calipers and disks then I wouldn't want to advertise them and therefore do them black.

Red suits the colour scheme :) Yellow looks out of place IMO
