cant help out with calipers, but bought sum bulbs from motorworld sports blue about £14.99 v v v good. very easy to fit them on just check the manual if ure stuck!!

I'm planning on getting a chemical grey GP down the track and I've been thinking about the caliper colour. It's hard to tell what would look good with that colour, but most silver cars I've seen have red or yellow calipers.

It would be good if you could post some pics when you do it, hardly anyone owns chemical grey sportings.

hiya mate, i will be fitting some xenon effect bulbs on monday, i had them in my old ignis sport, but obviously didnt need them for the megane as it had xenons to start with. they're not bad, got them for about 12quid from ebay. the bulbs you need are h4. mine are 6500k and are pretty white compared to the standard 'yellow' ones. also mate, worth considering getting either silver visions or some cool osram diadem blue indicator bulbs for the front, they look great, just fitted mine, take about 20 seconds each side, and improve the looks of the headlights drastically. the indicators are offset pins and NOT opposite... PY21W. have a look on ebay, i got mine for a tenner post free, some are charging fifteen quid and upwards for a set... i will post a picture in the thread about my new car... have a look and see what you think. i will also be fitting some l.e.d. sidelights too, but they're just white, but will help with losing the yellowness of the headlights. hth.

as for the callipers, i have painted mine hammered copper, but they look gold... not a bad colour for a black car, and very subtle, not sure what it would look like on chemical grey though buddy...

cheers fellers!i was thinking of going with red callipers with the chemical grey think thats the best bet!! and as for the lights yep them replacment bulbs do make the headlights look alot better minnt also when youv fitted them xenon effect bulbs would you be able to post a pic of them in the dark?? sorry to be a pain!! cheers mate

of course mate, not a problem, anything to help a fellow member out...

there will be a mass of pics once the work has been carried out tomorrow... pics will probably be posted up tuesday as i wont be home till about midnightish... and im leaving at 6am!!!!!

Lucky you!!
cheers pal!!

Turbodiesel look at this!!

Well that sure looks nice, bit bling but the colour looks great on it. I've never seen a proper photo of a chem grey Sporting let alone one a real one.

When are you getting your car mate?

Sud be about 4-6 weeks now fingers eyes toes legs etc crossed haha, im due to go and pick the leather seat on it next weekend the dealers gettin all the different off cuts of leather so i can pick it!! cant wait think ill go 4 black leather wiv grey piping to match the chemical gey colour!!

Still a while to go then, but be sure to post some pics when it arrives!!

yep sure no problems mate!!

i painted mine red, also the inner hub of the disc. looks real good.

I think you should go for red on the calipers, will look really good on the chem grey and will stand out nicely. Good old hammerite.

As far as the bulbs go, a word of warning. I dont no if it was just mine but i bought some Ring bright white bulbs and shortly afterwards one of my headlight units packed up, Fiat blamed the bulbs but im not sure. I have since changed them to Philips Blue Visions and they are great, i imagine they are exactly what you are looking for. At night its a bright white but its got a nice blue that reflects from the back of the bulb, looks .
