We all make mistakes

Post by si-forks » Sun Apr 06, 2014 7:12 pm

New wheels fitted today thought i would paint my calipers as they're looking a bit shabby
Seeing as the car is black and the interior is black and the wheels are black thought i would add a little bit of colour, so i thought i would paint my calipers orange mistakeImageImage
Pictures actually make it look better in reality just didn't look right:cry: i think its going to be gloss black or silver
Who was i trying to fool it's not a lamborghini :P:P

bit too bright I think..

maybe if you darken the orange to a more burnt colour, you may find something better?

Have to agree, that's a bit Corsa. :thumbsdown:

Maybe some massive drilled disks would work, :) but not your current set up. :(

yeah, that looks horrible Halfrauds type set up...

well done for having a go mind you, but I think it needs bigger brakes/more mental car to pull that off...

Add some orange vinyl stickers to the car perhaps. At the moment, they do stick out.

I like red with black but fluorescent green would look better than orange.

Love the wheels by the way. :thumbsup:
