Just fitted 283mm gti brakes to the front of my hdi as got brembo's on the 6 now. Their already painted orange but wanna go wih something different to my black one. Thinking red looks good with Astor but its a bit common... Got standard silver cyclones at the minute. Thinking blue yellow or bright green maybe? Opinions or pics please Wink.

I think blue, yellow or green will look pretty rank on astor if im honest Laugh

Red would be the obvious colour, but its common (mainly as it looks the best??)

    I like that bronze/coppery colour of the brembos on the Nissan 370Z.

    I've thought about gold looks good but to me it looks a bit o.e often replacement calipers i fit at work come with a finish like that on them. Red looks great but been done to many times before. I was always going to do the ones on my black 6 in Kawasaki green then decided on orange to be different. Now have orange brembo's and they look the f**kin tits!

    Will either be green or yellow just about to purchase Wink.

    Not that worried about being different on the hdi that's what the 6 is for Wink. If I can get a brighter gold I'll go with that but want them to stand out.

    Thanks Smile They are a team dynamic qualifier without the centre caps, they no longer make them either.
