Caliper colour

[Tunst]

What colour should i paint them?

Silver
Red
Black


Go!

 

[SC03OTT]

Black.

 

[Tunst]

1 For black.

Glad i did mine black, Try to keep the calipers clean but theyre always caked in dust after a few drives... Bright would be too hard to keep clean for me.

I'm going for yellow on my black 172.

Red makes it look like your trying to make it look like brembo's which they aren't.
Black for subtlyness and not noticing them.
Same for silver.

Yellow, a little bit different.

Im looking into brembo's for it atm, so this is just temp anyway :rasp:


Thankyou for you opinion Willdot.

 

[Will.]

In that case, go yellow. Go wild. You may as well if your getting the big dog's eventually

Willdot. Here to help.

Hmm sounds good Willdot.


But im looking at peugeot garages :rasp:

 

[Will.]

Oh go on.......

IIRC i remember reading somewhere on here that the brembo's from a Peugeot 406 Coupe fit but they need spacers ..

will try later

 

[chrispy.clio]

imo if they are standard brakes then just do them Black as the calipers dont really look that great. If you have a brake upgrade to 4 pots then thats when you should paint them a pretty colour to show them off.

So black gets my vote

Wow that was interesting to read. Is it worth the brakes though? I mean, the standard ones aren't that bad tbh. Would look fooking awesome though

 

[Will.]

They look very easy to get hold of on ebay and not badly priced either.....

Red mate, brembos are red and look good on any colour car, mine are red too, with bits of green stuff sticking out of them! You painting them with hammerite?

Thats what im thinking, your looking at £200 for a decent set of brembo brakes, and all you need are some spacers for them...

 

[Will.]

What discs and pads would you end up using?

 

[Tunst]

I think you can use standard 1*2 discs, but im unsure on the pads..

 

[Will.]

I suppose you would just use ones for a 406....

Mk1s had different bolt spacing to Mk2s though therefore you'd have to get custom brackets made as per norm to fit them

 

[Tunst]

True, but i aint sure if he swapped to the 1*2 hubs or not, im gonna pm him later and find out the full crack..

 

[p@blo]

Pink or maybe brown. Failing that unpainted looks about right imo

Give me details when you do boyo, you could be crashing at mine and giving me a hand to do the same conversion ;-)

 

[Will.]

3 way? Would love to do this as well at that kinda price.

 

[Rob]

Fo' sho'

I move into my new gaffe in the new year, we could do all three! Bring the price of the fabrication down too!

I'm quite sure I could mock it up in cad and have it created at college...

 

[Will.]

Hero! Gives me time to get a bit of dollar together.

Would the mrs be there?

 

[Rob]

No.

 

[Will.]

Excellent. We get you all to ourselves x

 

[Tunst]

This. <3

Gonna pm him about it now.

 

[Rob]

We'll try sort out a whole load of calipers and do a mass conversion then? Should be good fun!
