Hi all,

I'm about to spruce up my calipers but as yet am undecided on a colour.  I've a 01 in Lagoon Blue and am open to suggestions.....  

Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed   s8) 8) s8)    s8) 8) s8)    s8) 8) s8)

I think silver would look quite nice.

Noted Phil (and Kris).  - That's the colour of choice for my other half too.  

I had red down as a maybe.  It's a shame there's not a wider choice available   s:( :( s:(    s:( :( s:(

Doubt it'd look too good.  You've already got Black (tyre), Silver (alloy) and Blue (Body) around that area... adding another contrasting colour probably wouldn't look too good.

As for more colours, so far I've seen blue, red, black, silver, gold and yellow.  What did you have in mind?

I've obviously spent too much time pacing the aisles of B&Q Phil   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:    s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  - would just like a few variations of the colours you've listed.  I wonder if there's much difference between Moondust Silver and Sparkle Silver....

Aaaaaarghh! I'm turning into motorings version of Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    s:shock: :shock: s:shock:    somebody shoot me please.......

Ok, I'll do it

I hate Changing Rooms.  The last thing I want to see is Changing Calipers.

MR2blue has blue calipers they look o.k. but he is thinking of changing the colour. I have offered him my gold caliper paint. Blue and gold go great together.   s8) 8) s8)   Trust me I know these things.

Fine.  It's my fault trying to save your poor soul from turning into Lawrence Whatshisname and having to wear those shirts.  There's no pleasing some people.

jumpingflame, it is a silly question but there's no need to be embarrashed, we all started from somewhere.  Anyway, this is my attempt to explain what it is in plain English... A caliper holds the break pads and it's that thing that grabs the rotors every time you hit the break after trying to take a roundabout at 50mph but you see a police car waiting at the next exit...

From what I hear, krisclarkuk's car does not have any calipers. He has to use various kerbs to stop.

I think that silver / red combo looks good, don't think it would work with my dark coloured wheels though...

I used to think that black with white lettering looks cool but the more I see the Carrera GT, the more I like them yellow with black letters...

Considering the size of the rims, them be monster calipers.
