was planning on doing the same thing on mine!

gotta be a code for it somewhere .... can't help thinking that googling "sti pink" might get some dodgy results though!!!

MATTJSTI3

Thought i would google caliper paint and found this,

from a website Etech brake caliper paint - <b>PINK</b>
Has anyone used this stuff before its called Etech caliper paint and seems to be a reasonable price £20. Proably not an exact match but near enough.

Please don't do that to your brakes!

MATTJSTI3

Was going to do them red with white lettering but seems to be the most common combo, just getting ideas at the mo, bit unsure about the pink tho dont know if i could live with it.

RA Dunk

THink about it, I know if one of my mate's turned up at my house in his car with pink brakes I would rip the living **** out of him about it

A nice freshly painted brake caliper does look good but pink, mmmmm naaa

Think if you do them pink it will just add your calipers to the "Need to clean" list everytime you clean the car.

Wanted to do mine white, but figured after a few weeks the will just look grotty so did them almost the same colour as brake dust BLACK!! lol

MATTJSTI3

Yeah, fair point, probably would look a bit fairy like too.

Thought about blue,would look cool but i havent any other blue bits on the car to go with em not that it matters too much.

Also good point about them getting ditched quickly.

Thanks for the effort, might not be such a good idea now lol.
Will probably just go for the red/white combo to be honest looking at more pics of other cars as it goes well on a white car.

well im brave lol i will admit mine are pink and i think they look great, as soon as i get my 4 pots they also will be painted pink. Pics dont realy do them justice, on the car they look awsome. Many people say they love them but wouldnt be brave enough to to them on their own car.

MATTJSTI3

Fair play to you they do actually look quite good and as you say prob loads better in the flesh, its more or less a good paint match too.
Where is that pic taken loads of snow there

If i had any light coloured wheels i dont think it would pull it off as well but with the dark wheels i love it. Pics were taken in shropshire about 5 weeks ago when we had all the snow.

MATTJSTI3

Yeah it goes well with the black rims and also the blue of the car,
very nice type r btw always loved the type r's. Getting my rims refurbed at work soon, thinking of going a bit darker than the standard p1 rim colour.

cheers mate. Yeh they will look nice darker, saying that tho, im also a big fan of white wheels on a white car, look posh with nice anodised wheel nuts.

MATTJSTI3

Yeah can't wait to get my wheels done. Where and what paint did you use on you calipers mate just out of interest?

Each to their own. Poof lol ok mate you dont know me so keep it shut. simple.
Matt, its just florecent paint from halfords, good rub down of the calipers and some primer and job done. Been on a few mths now with no probs even tho its not high temp paint.

No i wont keep it shut, public forum I can say what I want so u shut it u tool. Men wanting anything in pink is gay end of. If you are gay then fair enough I apologise, as I have nothing against shirtlifters

ian.b

OMFG let them do what they want to their cars ffs
Got to be honest I just sold my SCOOB coz ther fucin unreliable. The engines are like chocolate fire guards . Dont get me wrong there fast and powerfull but I would never own another one **** that

It is a public forum yeh, you can come on here and say what you like about my car, couldnt care less, its my car, i like it, but if your gunna come on here and start to insult me then dont be supprised to get a reaction , i wont just sit back and and say nothing. If blokes haveing anythink pink on their cars is so wrong then i guess evryone had best start removeing all their badges and stickers etc includeing yourself. Maybe your on the other bus and your trying to convince yourself otherwise. If you are then i apoliogise as i too have nothing against woofters.

Sorry dude i think they're a bit too much.

Dont mind the pink, i actually thought the same to tie in the badges ect.

But id rather see yours black with maybe the carriers in pink if you know what i mean

Great looking car tho

I think you are right that maybe there is a bit too much pink on them, have been meaning to get the wheels off and get some black on them in pleces but the weather has been too crap. Aint going to ditch the pink totaly tho as i do like it, regardless of what other people think.
