White ones would look the tits and contrast better with the all black car. Just a shame they would need cleaning every 20km to look nice  |

I painted my standard calipers red with halfords caliper paint, and the finish is very shiny and lacquered in appearance (I didn't use lacquer afterwards), and the brake dust and general road grime doesn't stick to the calipers very well.If you do paint them, I'd advise using some sort of lacquer if the paint finish isn't like that as it'll help keep the dirt off and keep them looking nice. With the colour combination you mentioned, I think white would look really good when clean. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Here are mine in deep glorious red, no where near pink, red shade from a new ford mustang called colorado red.  Top pic is down to the flash making it look light red and not its true shade. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

I've just bought a set of white 406 Brembo's off someone on here, hope they look tidy. I'm not sure what I will be like cleaning them, but I won't be doing many miles either. They are on the way anyway so can't change it now ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

I was gonna go yellow but went white and there not too bad for getting dirty and look great when clean. I'd say white to match the cage.________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |
