Painted Calipers...

[MaRiO89]

Do i paint my new calipers when they arrive or not?

Either red or leave them black.. :panic:

[riggsy]

Do they come already painted black then bud?

Id say red but your saxo is red so maybe too much on yours?

I did mine red as they are huuuge and i wanted them to stand out more :)

Yeah calipers come black from the factory, well my standard ones are anyway.

Yeah was thinking it might be too much.. hmm..

These new ones will be a bit bigger i excpect a aswell.

Hard decision! lol..:panic:

[riggsy]

Depends if you want them noticed like i did?

If so paint them red.

[MaRiO89]

If they are quite big then i will paint them! :)

Want big ones noticed. ;)

Cheers mate!

[riggsy]

What you getting 266mm?

[MaRiO89]

ye. :)

I'll compare them in size to my standard ones and see whether they are much bigger, if so will paint them red so they stand out. :)

[riggsy]

I had that setup on my vtr and yes the calipers were noticeably (Spelling) bigger :)

[MaRiO89]

lol, i aint worrying! :oops:

Ooooo, look lovely! Is that with mintex discs??

[riggsy]

Cheers, no the discs were from ebay, just drilled and grooved as i wanted them to look nice.

If you use red they should look even better and bigger.

[MaRiO89]

No probs.

Will be getting the red hammerite out then by the sounds of things! lol.. Me and my hammerite! ;)

Cheers for your input and pics mate, but i'm off now! Spend too much time on here! :panic:

Cya. :y:

[riggsy]

No worries :)

i have red calipers on my saxo, they look good, although can be annoying to keep clean at times

[craigy_87]

when i got my 266mm set up from williams the calipers were already red lol

Black or Silver...

[MaRiO89]

No, has to be black or red..

i have no silver on my car that it would go with or anything so..

[craigy_87]

tough decision dunno if it'll be to much red or not

so if they turn up red you gonna leave them that colour lol

[MaRiO89]

lol, if they turn up that couluer then yeah..

will have a look when they come.. Dont want too much red tbh!!

[craigy_87]

when i got them they needed a wee touch up though, an they still do lol. so might be an excuse to paint them black if you wanted

[MaRiO89]

ye true, well i will post piccies up etc and ask for opinions on the matter. :)

[craigy_87]

[MaRiO89]

Both of those brake setups look really nice tbh.. Do like the citroen sticker on the second one! :)

graeme-PM williamsvts.. he will tell you what he can do them for.. :)

[saxx]

if your cars red you'd have to have an exact match imo for them to look ok

go black or silver

[Global_discovery]
