What colour calippers?

[laura_g]

Was thinking of gettin some black and silver alloys for my clio and wanted to paint the brake calipers what colour would you suggest?

[AJ-VTR]

depending on colour of car .. but i would go for red :y:

[laura_g]

sorry forgot to mention its black my car is, was thinking red but also blue to soo many choices

[AJ-VTR]

laura, red will top it off :y:

[laura_g]

what do you think to the whole black and red scene then for my car?

[Lozza_vtr]

Red calipers will look nice. Red and black is always a good combination :y:

[David]

Red :)

[laura_g]

cheers kids all i got to do now is sit and wait for my car lol, wolfrace do alloys with red on them they would look a treat on it

[vidal]

I find flesh tones best for calipers, although it does depend upon your clothes.

[eoey]

[laura_g]

have you any pictures of them sounds cool :y:

[liam46]

if i had black wheels on my black furio, i would do them lumo green or yellow just to be different! I had Red atm behind my white C2 wheels.

[claret-vtr]

Think red looks good on black cars!

[laura_g]

red it is then, what do you think to red window tints?

[David]

You're getting Wolfrace wheels??! hahahaha

[TU-Tuning]

reds a good choice, but if youve got drums on the back paint them black.

[laura_g]

You're getting Wolfrace wheels??! hahahaha

not necessarily lol just whatever comes along, what david do you think i should get some ripspped alloys instead :p

[laura_g]

reds a good choice, but if youve got drums on the back paint them black.

what are the drums?

[eoey]

have you any pictures of them sounds cool :y:

heres them when they were DARK green i have no pic of them bright green which look much much better.

i also the sunvisor sticker i have has and underline in the same green and i have my engine block the same green now im lookin to get the green trs harness's in the next month ot 2 goes really well the black green theme

[TU-Tuning]

what are the drums?

you know some brakes have big shiny disks, well the back end on small engined cars is usually fitted with drums which dont have visible discs, theyre just metal blocks. And if you paint them a lairy colour they look wank lol

[Scattle]

Either Black or Red Laura.

[liam46]

drums, the brakes on the rear if you dont have discs.

And as for the Red window tinting, think thats a no no

[laura_g]

ok black and red scene it is thanks for your help catch the rep :)

[betty02]

yellow gtw!

[jaybiss]

id go for a dark grey i think

red looks rubbish cause you've not got big brakes

you can buy nylon stickers for your calipers that say renault or clio

i think grey caliper with black clio or renault sticker would look nicer

or maybe even black calipers with silver stickers

[laura_g]

im not sure on stickers though, just want to upgrade the whole brake disks and that and like the look of painted calippers

[tommyVTR]

red is always a nice colour but wayyyto popular depends if u wanna b unique or stick to a safe combination.. some people keep them black or silver to deliberatly detract attention from the calipers.

im gonna stick safe with mine and do them bright red, should just be able to see them through the gti pepperpots in black.

[laura_g]

would like it to be unique but my fav colour is either red or blue want it to be like these alloys

[Scattle]

Hammerite is what you will need imo.

[Nick_T]

[laura_g]

lol why didnt i think of that whats hammerite?

[Scattle]

Special type of paint, its heat resistant.

[Karl]

paint them black.

[laura_g]

paint them black.

it would look abit grebo tbh

[Karl]

imo theres nothing worse than a small engined car with standard brakes that are painted bright in your face colours,

What do you want people to do!
WOW! look how small that clios brakes are?

[Nick_T]

lol why didnt i think of that whats hammerite?

high temp and corrosion resistant paint, can get it from halfords but its cheaper in B&Q Warehouse

[laura_g]

its not the size its how you use them :p

[Scattle]

so,so true.

[Karl]

its not the size its how you use them :p

I beg to differ,
small shite brakes are awful, you can stamp on them all you like but they dont work very well etc etc.

I agree. I have decided not to do mine yellow, and go for a grey instead.

[laura_g]

grey is boring though

[Karl]

but it isnt like
"IN YOUR FACE, I ROLL WITH SMALLER BRAKES THAN YOU!"
style.

its all about looking subtle imo,
you dont make stuff stand out unless it is that damn good.

well you certainly pissed on my bonfire :homme: , i think it will look good with them painted blue

[Karl]

like a dark navy blue?

can you not source some bigger brakes from a 172/182?

[Karl]

..infact its pretty much like having 4ft 1.0 stickers on a piss slow 1.0 saxo.

[laura_g]

or two exhaust pipes on a 1.1 saxo was thinkin bout the same colour blue in your avatar theres a photoshop pic of it dun

[Karl]
