Saw the flame red doing stupid overtakes down the bypass and saw the silver at the roundabout near b&q
the silver looked sweet with a nice twin exhaust

need to tidy up my calipers, any suggestions for caliper colours?
im in a racing blue with athracite wheels
im tempted to stick with a bit of black hammerite but what are peoples thoughts on other colours?
cheers
i do all the usual wash, clay, polish, seal and wax etc etc
i currently use #476s collinite which is excellent and has done me proud throughout the winter
im basically wondering if there is a wax which will bring up a nice shine and deep rich colour to my racing blue???
cheers
