Thumbs up Lets see your calipers Greenies !

I have just bought some 4 pot calipers and am struggling to decide what colour to paint them

The car is Green Mica MY98.

What does everybody think?

It depends what look you want really... discreet would be black or grey. Not sure about colour coding them with the car, may look a bit odd. Photoshop it first.

But hey, who am I to talk... I have gold callipers with a silver/grey car

Mine came with red calipers on a green car when I bought it. I painted them black and highlighted the Subaru on the front calipers in silver.


Not a great pic I know but looks loads better than the red did

lime green with black writing I'd say.... saw the same colour combo on a dark green fiat coupe and it looked good, also if you go with the lime green theme you can get lime green samco hoses for under the bonnet!
