Brake calipers colour poll.

[Dazzler32]

Hey guys,

I have bought a 2nd set of calipers with the intentions of sending them off to be refurbished at Bigg Red.
Now I know caliper colour has been discussed not long ago but I'm not quite sure what colour to do them hence this poll.

Also if you have your calipers finished in the above colours can you post a picture. I've have googled with mix results.

Cheers
Daryl

Ah well my poll has been a failure. :tearsofjoy:

I fancy silver.



But the other half thinks red would look good.

 

[BenG]

I voted black but grey would have been my second choice. Red seems to be a popular choice but I don't like it.

 

[Mikeyjp]

I voted black, because you don't have to keep them clean

 

[Claude]

I don't like red much

Renault Pearl Black Daryl

I associate Red with Brembo calipers so I'm going with my gut which says silver.

I was close to buying a set of black calipers but too ages to reply to Mikey but as the old saying goes "What's for you, won't go by you!"

This is the finish I'm expecting although James from Bigg Red informs me that it's a little bit dull in normal lighting.

Paint them yourself mate and save a fortune. They are easy to do, it will cost you less than a fiver a corner. As above I did mine in Renault Pearl black. You can paint them on the car, just stripped down and hung in the arch, also you don't have to mess about bleeding etc

My rear calipers need replacing. The sliders are sticking and they need a good clean so would have to come off the car. For this reason I thought it best to bite the bullet and get a set refurbished.

I had the same issue when choosing the colour for my brakes. 100% happy I went with Silver.

It's actually photos of your car that's making me think Silver is best, it's those Brembos they look great. :grin:

Next you'll want red seatbelts.

 

[Dazzler32]

Red seat belts look awesome too. :laughing::grimacing::grin::wink:

They are her thing though and set her car apart.
