Brake Caliper Color

[CHEFS P5]

I'm going to be doing my brakes on my p5 soon. Since I'm going to be in there, what color does everybody recommend. BTW, I've got an 02 in yellow. Pics and thoughts would be great.
Cheers,

Red!!

I'm leaning toward red anyway. I've factory chrome rims, not polished. They are bad ass. When I'm in there doing the brakes, I'll be changing out the rotors and replacing with Brembo cross-drilled rotors on all four corners.
I'll be cleaning everything up and I think it going to look hott.

Could do like an Anodized black. Its a subtle look but it still looks tons better than stock. Plus you dont see to many cars with black calipers. Just depends if ya want.

I like the look of the yellow on the yellow.. mine are red... do you wanna do something different than everyone?

I did my yellow P5 with red calipers . . . mostly cause I knew it would be hard to match the yellow perfectly to the paint - if you are off it looks weird. It would look very nice though, if you could have the exact smae yellow on the calipers. Here are some pics of the yellow with red.

i'm going to do mine in black when i get the time.

i'm going for a yellow / black colour scheme with my car, so i might as well keep with consistancy, and not deviate by using something as noticeable as red on my car.


but, if i get the black / gunmetal rims that i'm hoping to get, i might go with a silver to contast.

I too would go with RED....its a nice contrast...and it makes them stand out.

OK thats it, I'm gonna paint mine PURPLE. or that gay Wal-mart chameleaon color purploe. BTW my PRO5 is WHITE! Hellz Yeah dogg(ricer)

edit: I'm going to spill that glow in the dark stuff from raver sticks on my calipers and use my 3 Million cadle power spotlight to charge them. What do you think now?

I'd do yellow for sure. Color matched looks great. Me and my buddy Glen (FunkyBuddha) did his Laser blue to mach his car and they looked TEH W1N! I'll get him to post some pics.

Do yellow but if you cant get a close enough shade of yellow, go with a red.
