Black for stealth (not my thing though)
White for me is a weird colour with bue car and black wheels.
I wont even go there with pink as a colour.
Blue would be an option.

If it was me it would be red. Red gives a nice contrast with the blue car and black wheels.

My classic is reddish blue with white Rota's, I'm also on a refurb mission for my brembos. I'm toying with the idea of doing the brembos reddish blue as well. The white wheels do look pretty good, even if I am slightly biased.

£350? Is that for fronts or all 4? This is a post from godspeed on another thread:

We charge £85 per front caliper to completely strip them , paint strip , bead blast and either prime and spray and lacquer them the original colour , or we can paint them any other colour , or we are now set up to powder coat them but only have certain colours available at the moment.
We polish the pistons and chemically clean the seals , as long as they are not damaged they can be re-used , if they are damaged they will be replaced , front seals are £55 per caliper and rears are £40

We apply new logo's and pressure test them.

These are ones we powder coated last week
