Jk* 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Im debating what colour to do brake calipers. Now bare in mind my car is black, and will in the next two months have polished tt comps on, so you wont be able to see much of the caliper. Im toying with the idea of red, even though ive never been a fan of it in the past. Its either that or just doing them silver or black. This is the idea i was thinking of as i have the m-tech rear/white rear lights too. What do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I just done mine with silver smoothrite, looks fresh and subtle, red looks good on certain cars, depends what "look" you are styling really Link to post Share on other sites
SiGainey 1 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'll be doing mine silver or black, but that's on a dragon green. last car I did them on, I bought 2 tubs of hammerite and did a custom mix which was mainly silver but a bit of gold. Looked like new Anyway, red looks awesome on a black car :) Link to post Share on other sites
dutchboy 0 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 do you think doing the german flag thing like on the GTI-R concept car is a bit OTT? Thats what I was gonna do on mine. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Try and tie it in with something else on the car. I might do mine blue to match the Samcos in the engine bay Link to post Share on other sites

I think that looks rubbish I always loved red calipers on a black car (otherwise I wouldnt have done it!) but Ive done them silver on my latest VR and I think it looks a lot cleaner Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think red looks good as long as they are kept clean, and im justins are super clean.I painted mine black just to make it look nice and clean, but i might try silver this year to see how it looks.

petervr6 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 justin that car was mint how comes you got rid of it? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 thanks.. I loved that car but it had to go because I changed jobs and I now have to drive down the bumpiest, shittiest country lanes in the world to get to work and that was a very high maintenance car... chrome subframes & muddy lanes dont mix !

purple highline monster 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 do you think doing the german flag thing like on the GTI-R concept car is a bit OTT? Thats what I was gonna do on mine.Personally i think painted on flags and air brushed petrol flaps and other sh*te like that should be left on touring/racing cars etc, i dont think it looks good on a road car imo, some Euro cars that attend UK shows look stunning at first glance only for you to look inside to find leopard skin seats or furry dash boards or something bizzare like that! keep your mods subtle and fresh i say Link to post Share on other sites
