Painted calipers with....

[mike-evans]

.... standard 172 wheels. Thinking of painting my calipers on my 02 172 but I have the standard 5 spoke 16" wheels and not a nice multispoke wheel to show the calipers off...anyone done thier calipers with standard 5 spoke wheels on thier Clio? How do they look?

 

[nick.]

they look fine m8, u can still see them, depends on what colour you are thinking?

 

[Nick_P]

Looks fine? You dont want a bright colour anyway, do you, really, black/silver

 

[mike-evans]

aint really sure what colour, anyone gnt any pics with thiers painted with standard wheels?

 

[Greeny.]

[mike-evans]

Greeny 172, looks nice m8..my clio is Iceberg silver, any ideas on what colour to do the calipers?

 

[Tigger]

Silver
Blue
Gun-metal

What colour are the wheels going to be?

 

[mike-evans]

think I wil do the calipers Silver, should look ok,wheels are going to stay the standard Silver, might even get them refurbed staying the same colour. Was thinking of getting them done Anthracite, but dont know how good/bad it wil look...?

 

[Monaco Sean]

100% silver IMO

Apologize for lack of cleaning

[Fletcher]

Silver or black, as the standard calipers are nothing to shout about IMO.

 

[Charlie.]

Soon to be yellow when i can be bothered

 

[happycallis]

Did mine orange, not to everybodys taste but I like to be different.

 

[Mark One]

it should be law. If it's a standard caliper, black or silver only imo

 

[Lee-182]

Black. Because any other colour look s**t once the brake dust has set in

arnt you doing yours yellow lol?

I just clean mine when I wash the car, they come back nicely. Also I tend to repaint mine every 6 months or so, did them at the weekend again:

 

[Lee-182]

nope mine are black, That does look nice ^^ but couple on miles they will be black.

 

[Greeny.]

Yeah but I clean them every time I clean the car!

 

[Mike_182]

On anything other than a black, red or white car it's got to be black/silver calipers. On a black/red/white car then red.

Any other colour is just too much... All IMHO of course!

Bingo.

 

[172cupwizard]

Bingo.

There is nothing wrong with the standard calipers, not everyone uses them on track so no need to change them really. All down to personal preference on the colour
