I like them best in there original colour that's on . Maybe I'm a little boring , black would be lost and white a nightmare to keep looking good.

I would go for black with White brembo graphics. Would look nice and steathy behind you wheels. I have got four pots on my bugeye painted black with White graphics and it's one of my favourite mods.

If I ever go for brembos I will go got the black and White again. I was tempted to do them White but as said above keeping them clean would be hell.

To stand out beind those rims you need a Bright colour ie dayglow yellow or lime green.

Really like the white brembo's must be a buger to keep clean?!.

Cool that doesn't sound too bad, it sounds the same process as doing the inlet manifold. Where did you get the plasticote from mate?
