OK, a quick straw poll, a few chats at Rutland have convinced me that I need to refurb my brakes. I love red calipers on modern cars and for the last two years have been trying to decide whether to paint mine in red, frankly I think that they look out of place on a 20 year old car but still get wowed by shiny things!

What do you think? is it sacrilege to go red?

Mine on the 2.7 are red and look ok - but you can hardly see them! They are behind black multi spoke wheels on a white car.

Rob -Thats a nice new avatar you have there! Is it one of mine?
 
I had red on my coupe for a while and liked them but then bought big blacks and went back to black!

Yes, also not sure with the blue, but they work on Blue audi RS2

I'm going for yellow calipers which I think will brighten up the wheels and smarten up the car. has anyone else done this?
 
No, but I have thought that it would be good to try something other than the regulation black or red. Pale peppermint green would be one option, or orange, or maybe a white ....

Have to agree though red calipers only work on certain car colours, for me I would only do it on a red, white, black or silver cars.
 
i'd vote yellow for a blue car. eldavos look amazing! no idea standard lux calipers could come up so well.
