Re: Caliper colour change
I can't see a problem with the blue and the red. I would go for it personally or try and find a picture of a red BM with the ///M Performance calipers to see what it looks like. Must be a pic out there

Re: Caliper colour change
How about white? No matter what colour, you will have to clean them anyway.

Re: Caliper colour change
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Re: Caliper colour change
Maybe a colour should be " chosen" to suggest that all on the forum do them in the same colour so that anywhere a car is we all know the owner is on the forum?.
