Should i colour code calipers? Not sure if will look good of rubbish.

 

Godspeed did 86F on my refurbished calipers on my RB5 just over a month ago, I sort of wish I had the time to paint the "SUBARU" on the front calipers white to match the white stickers on the rears.

Didn't want to go the usual red route as it's looks pants when they're not brembos. Would've been boring black if I had not gone 86F.

Edit: here's a picture of the front caliper after a fun week driving around in Wales over a month ago: http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9344/photo.JPG

 

Don't look bad, agree with you on red calipers.

 

Mine are sliver at momment, not sure if spray blue or not

 

I like my red calipers, seen them blue, but on a blue car looks crap I think.

 

Really, i though blue might add, spec if same colour as car, any pics would be great

 

I'm thinking i might go with colour coded

 

Only really like them in silver, Hate seeing them in yellow, green, blue ect its just chavy.

 

Thats why i was in 2 mines what to do

 

I think it looks good, but mine are bright yellow so my taste might not be that great...

 

i wouldn't paint them the same colour as the car if that's what you mean by colourcoding them. IMO

 

Yeah, cars blue so was going to get them painted same colour

 

I like blue caliper on blue cars

 

I think red looks good when on a 1 piece calliper design such as the 4 pots but look tacky when applied to two piece callipers.

My Mercedes has two piece callipers and felt like I could only paint them black so as not to draw attention to them. Painting them black was far better than the natural dull grey that they were before.

 

If anyone has any pics of blue calipers would help me decide

 

Just had my APs painted the same by Godspeed, switching from red all round to 86f calipers on my RB5

 

I like
But I'm bias as on my baby

 

Agree mate.Silver or black or leave alone

 

Do I mate, I have just had my brembos refurbed in purple

Not everyone's taste but who cares.

 

It depends on the car. On a Corsa anything but black looks chavy. On a Mercedes anything but black or silver looks chavy. On an Impreza anything but black, silver, dark gold or red looks chavy. On a Porsche you can add yellow to that mix. The sportier the car the more it looks good.

 

Who refurbed them mate? Mine should be with me in a few days

 

Nice pictures of calipers not sure if it looks good with contrast of white wheels

 

i like my red callipers even though they have been done to death its all down to personal choice at end of the day would defo paint them over leaving them rusty/tired looking seen some kawasaki green ones recently looked quite good and definately different!

 

blue car blue calipers with pink decals like stevep360 has. look amazing

 

Pink decals not sure on that

 

stevep360 has a thread on here about his 2.35 build he is on with on there is some pics of his brakes if i knew how to post a link to it i would mate but am not a computer boffin by a long way haha
