Brembo caliper colour - BG

[Louis]

Unsure on what colour to go for with my brembos? I'm thinking an OEM silver? Don't really want them to be 'lost' behind the 2118s.
The calipers currently there are red, but this doesn't fit into the theme of the car at all!

Opinions welcomed.

Just had my calipers redone in OEM silver, admittedly not brembos just standard calipers. If you have a good shot side of the 2118's I can always photoshop some colours, help you make a decision

What colours other than the silver do you fancy? Will have a look tomorrow and see what I can do 👍

Do them mismatched grey like his centre caps🤣.

What about brown/gold like this.

 

[frayz]

100% silver.
Clean, subtle, understated and timeless. 👌🏼

Or orange to match your hair.

Piss yellow

Then get some matching "RS-182" side skirt stickers for full bender spec

Silver with Brembo in Black mate,if i ever get a pair for mine i would be doing that👌🏻

Agree with silver for brakes. Those that want Brembo’s for the performance benefit keep it understated. Those that want to tell people they have Brembos paint them dog knob red 🤔

Silver gets my vote too! Not too over the top, but enough for them to still show

If you did that, would you just have no brakes at all? 😂

The irony coming from you 😂

I had in my mind just standard silver or going black with silver brembo decals.
Theres not really any colour in the rest of the car to tie into so would be a bit weird I reckon. BG problems

Yeah, I'd get you to do them for me😂👍.

I'll be so generous to accept the brembos and save you the headache of choosing the right colour

What association has colour got to do with whether you have them for a performance benefit or just for show? Mine are red on my Trophy, as I got them for a very good price as brand spanking new units, and also like the fact they tie in with the colour of my car. I guess I should remove them from my car or have them painted silver in case I get accused of having them for show?

It's very car dependant that's for sure. It's also nice to have parts that look good whilst maintaining great performance. That's why I have Pole positions and didnt just shove generic Ebay bucketseats in.

What about foliatec RS blue? I think it would be a nice fit..

And for the durability questions, i have painted my calipers 1 year ago, and it's still holding like new. And the brakes get very abused.

Silver with black text or black with silver text imo.

Silver with black text or black with silver text imo.

My thoughts too

 

[Greeny.]

Ideally black gold and silver text I think

On Ashs car, the red matches the colour of his Trophy exterior paintwork, so red looks perfect. I wouldn't just tosh big red calipers on any car though.
Black or silver on Louis car would be my choice. But its his choice, not mine lol

Black with silver decals.

If you wanted something slightly more interesting I think liquid yellow would work and fit in with renaults f1 colours.

It was a joke mate, hence the hmm emoji...don’t take it to heart!

If I had a trophy with Brembo’s then I would have them painted factory red or silver!

However (IMO) Brakes always look better in Silver, especially Brembo’s and especially on a black car.

bronze?

Apologies, downloaded the image and then didn't do it, here it is in silver'ish, any other colours just shout, what colour are your bullets on the car?
