Painting Callipers

[nezza]

I want to paint my callipers but not sure whether to paint silver or red? Any comments welcome.

Cheers!

Also, after reading another post on callipers, someone has put Brembo logos on them - They can be bought from this place on Ebay but which size would fit the standard callipers?

They fit the front perfectly and look really sweet, if done properly!!

theres an easy photoshop opportunity there mate.. so you can see...

id go for red on the calipers. wud look gd against silver car me thinks.

 

[Nebdingo]

in fact... this is a shoddy quick 30 second effort... but you get the idea...

Whats the point in putting Brembo stickers on, when they are obviously Girling calipers, it will just look stupid and you will feel a right chav.

..and i would go for yellow.

Gold all the way. Think they would look good with silver.

I do suppport Wolves though :approve:

what he said, almost as bad as sticking a sport badge on a 1.2

Sorry to hijak the post....

I've got a Cup. Painting the callipers this weekend and not sure whether to go red or yellow...

Whats the view???

Brembo stickers = you'll look a right tool, dont do it!

 

[sh33n]

Yellow

 

[team_penetrator]

Yellow

Thats what I thought too...

If it looks bad, I can always re-paint them black...

 

[nezza]

Get the point - no Brembo stickers! Will just save up for the real thing instead

I guess red is probably my choice too - but like the idea of yellow!!

Thanks for your help guys

Black or Silver.

Dont do the rear ones - makes them look even more weedy.
