Silver goes best with silver.

 

[caymanr26]

i have already bought silver paint but am temped to do them red - look a bit more dramatic

any one got pics of yellow calipers on silver 172

 

[Ali]

To me, Red is rather.....Brembo wannabe'ish

 

[brisa4984]

^^ even on a flame red.?

 

[MrStabby]

CarbonCopy has yellow calipers.

Look the shizzle if you ask me...lol

 

[caymanr26]

yeah I know what you mean Ali but silver is a bit unexciting - will probably still end up being silver though!

 

[Nathan H]

brians got red brembo's under his anthracite wheels ;-) sure he will post up in a little bit.

 

[Brian]

pics could be better though, and looks nicer in the real life

^^^mintt

 

[Englebert]

Yep, that is super mint. I would never paint OEM calipers anything over than silver or black. Why pretend you have decent brakes when you're just drawing attention to shabby ones? Just a show off thing really.

 

[Ali]

^ Indeed.

Tim your car looks spot on...mate, be contempt with subtlety.

[Cupster]

Agree with above, red OEM calipers look brembo wannabe and yellow look porker wannabe.

Gona do mine green anyway to be Skoda VRS wannabe, lol

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

That looks spot on Brian.

 

[Jamie]

yes it looks v nice!

 

[MrStabby]

I think at the end of the day, it's you choice what colour you want them. Just because their Red or Yellow doesn't mean your a wannabe, just looks nice.

I do like CC's yellow callipers on his Phase1

yip have to agree - going through a yellow phase at the moment!!!

 

[Ali]

^No your not your going through a Vauxhall astra phase.

 

[Christopher]

the shizzle...

thanks Ali - but I have to disagree - my car looks shite at the moment - some theiving tosser stole my bumpstrips at the weekend - having 4 minor dents that the dickhead caused sorted tomorrow and new bumpstrips are in the house waitin to go on - not fitting them til sunday (got a south wales meet) in case the piece of crap comes back for the drivers side as he got interupted on his first attempt!

 

[Christopher]

bad news mate.

[paul_h172]

^^^^ very nice

 

[caymanr26]

bad news mate.

you going to FCS?

Chris

yeah real bad news - how to go from a minter to a rough lookin car overnight! I know I am being dramatic it will be perfect again as of sunday but I am so annoyed about it - would kill the bloke if I caught him!
I waited up all night sunday in case he came back, had bats,knifes,a mini moto to chase him on, my dog, my mobile, etc etc all ready to go - quite glad he did not turn up - id probably be locked up by now but I aint having people touchin my car!

Yeah I shall be at FCS - really lookin forward to it - as long as my car stays in tact until then! should have all my enginebay sorted by then so should be looking good - have decided on silver for the calipers now although those red brembo's look wicked - but I agree would look too much like I was tryin to pretend I had decent calipers

 

[chunktrophy]

not a 172 but i had red calipers on my v6, was in iceburg silver.
