I'd go with black. Looks better if you can't really see the backplates imo.  ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans. I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |

New they are silver so i'd paint them silver, especialy as your calipers will be silver. Thats what I did.At the end of the day it's up to you what colour you paint them, it's your car. ________________________________________ P1 306 GTI6 X2P2 306 GTI6 P3 306 GTI6 205 GTI 1.9 Peugeot Sport Club UK Gloucestershire Group Leader |

Slightly different to my PM but if you have them off the car and they are new you could use some decent spray paint instead ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

did them silver , went out while they dried on the back yard and it rained :-(sanded it down and repainted them and it reacted and looks worse, i think i used a brake fluid soaked rag by accident to clean them before repainting doh. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I did a similar thing when i was refurbing my wheels. It turns out car shampoo is not a wise thing to wash the dust off with before painting, I think its got silicon in it which reacts with the paint  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
