I would have to say that to complete the rally slag look Gold would be my first choice, then red, black last!

An upgrade to 4 pots would help the appearance as well, on two pots you will need to paint the rear of the outer pad (or match EBC red stuffs to red callipers!) for the best appearance!

No no no. Red is for chavs in novas. Gold is for tarts. It has to be black.

I just did mine the other day, got a great day for the weather also.

I went for red and gold writing. Very pleased with the results.
