Hi,
In looking to get my calipers painted front and rear and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on colours and pics to show what they look like. I like the Lamborghini orange which I think is savage orange or maybe yellow but not sure which is best for a Black GTi

I'm thinking of doing mine too, I was planning focus st orange :) same kinda colour, I reckon it'd look good, my golfs blue, so I'm hoping it'd be pretty good contrast of colours
-
Well if I get them done first ill send you a picture and let you see what you think. Someone said yellow as this is the colour porsche paint them to show ceramic discs. Choices hey
-
my brother painted the brakes on his caddy orange its a nice contrast against the grey paint

He also painted his brakes yellow on his laser blue gti and i painted my reflex silver gti brakes green

Ok cool sounds good, thanks, same goes for you... Yeah sounds good, I just thought orange was a bit different aswell lol, not very often you see those kinda colours on calipers.... They look sweet on the caddy mate.. I see what you mean about yellow though, would look good,
-
Any colour will look ok with a black car, tie it all together and paint/wrap your GTI lip in the grill the same colour. Always looks good when peeps go orange/yellow/green/blue/pink/white.......well you get the idea! :wink:
-
I like all of those colours, thanks but its given me more choices now. Dam you lol!
Will look at getting the lip painted as well, great idea thanks
-
My brother painted his gti lip and engine cover yellow to match his calipers so it really ties in with the whole car
heres mine and his together
