Brake caliper repaint, what colour?

[Donkey99]

Originally set on having the front and rears painted sprint blue to match the bodywork but now starting to think about Lamborghni pearl orange. Opinions?

[Shoppinit]

My opinion? Tacky. The rears especially will look ridiculous if they are standard.

Gloss black with RS logo FTW.

This is what I went for, Lambo Orange, think they look pretty good, the original black is lost in the wheel, they deserve more than black I think!!! I'm no boy racer but its too nice a caliper not to be seen!!

Black...there's a fellow on Fleabay that sells the brake decals. So many cheap cars have colored calipers these days, "sweet mod bro".

[audi_driver79]

Like he said! Black with decal, understated and classic!

[Donkey99]

Horses for courses and arguments for keeping authenticity and also for individualism. I think black is almost invisible behind the wheels on my car and having them professionally painted sprint blue with new RS decals doesn't shout prat in my mind. I'll post the end result and we'll see

IMO it won't work.

Much depends on the colour of the rims and car, oem for me, as many other bits and pieces...

[Donkey99]

Why don't you think it'll work?

[mavada]

...if it works for you, great. Thats what matters.

Sprint blue is a fantastic colour, just the the calipers will take away from that. As Mav says, if you like it, go for it.
Why do you want to change the colour? Guessing cause you want to? If so, do what you want and enjoy it.

Thinking metallic grey instead, like the ceramic kits...

Footers has silver on his black beauty, looks good. Sprint blue is a difficult colour to blend with.
