Red calipers on a Mk2 phase 1 172 do you think it would look ok?

That would be me then, didn't get around to doing it yet unfortunately as I had to use the car. The paint also says you should do it over 8 degrees too, not likely lately!

Probably gonna crack on this weekend and get a few pics up.

Not silver but heres a pic of my old cup's red calipers:

Might look better on a silver car

I havw red ones but you cant see them now I have my new alloys on it...think it looked good though

You can see mine creeping behind the alloy in this pic. Alot of people on here dont like it. But i think it looks sweet when the cars moving.

what colour u think for a mk3 clio silver ??

The only brakes that should be red are brembos! I would personally do them in black or silver so they dont stand out too much.

I'm not a fan unless the calipers are meant to be red, i.e. they are decent brakes. Making the standard calipers stand out highlights that they are just standard, IMHO...

Black or silver only.
