i have a green C and did mine Black, i thought the red looked a little bit chavvy/boy racer in the end

I went for silvery grey myself - like you see on new cars, looks quite smart. Haven't got a pic tho

yes, also my thoughts about red, makes the car a lil chavvy .... (as well as blue)

 

today i went to the Audi dealer and took a look at the new S5 and R8. They all got

black (glossy) painted brake caliper. all the other Audi

I went for red, as I'm chavvy 8)

I went for silver, of the hammerite variety.. Really like them. Don't have a picture though as the forum photo thing is broken.

Have mostly red at the minute which I quite like but just thinking silver for when I get my MK4 calipers on.. will remove and paint t'others at the same time!

I went for red, I think it stands out a bit more than any of the other colours mentioned.

I opted for silver hammerite spray in the smooth finish to keep the OE look. I've just got to get round to getting them fitted.

guess that makes me a chav :? .

 

Goldie on here has done the same on his Green Storm and they look the part

alright guys, i think realy chavvy are blue or yellow painted ones :D

 

thank you for your opinions and pics so far

 

i kinda like the idea of painting them green to color match the rest of the car, maybe this is chavvy

[JayGT 0]

to be honest i think its all depends on the rest of the car...

 

Porsche use yellow for their ceramic brakes but we don't call them chavvy.... Ferrari use red as standard and we don't slate those either!?

 

If a Saxo with an 8 inch exhaust and red/yellow calipers (or drums :D ) drove past then its pretty safe to say its a bit chavvy.

 

In my opinion you can get away with most colours... as long as the rest of the car is cool.

i decided about what color to go with the brake caliper. im going to chrome plate the brake caliper brackets (?)

and going to powder coat the brake caliper black or silver-grey (RAL 9007)

i saw it last weekend on a Maserati and i kinda liked it .....

[Jim Bowen 1]

plus with black you don't need to wash them very well and they stay looking black :lol:

Red, but that's the colour they came in as they're Boxster ones 8)

Boring - but red always looks good on a Blue C!

[Jim 1]

Got to make a decision for mine before Friday.. as thats when i'm painting the rears! Thinking I might just go with red again to be honest! I didn't particularly dislike them in red before!

Nah, not boring and they look alright on a black one too :D :D
