afternoon evey 1! i a tranna decide what colour to do my calliper when the car finally arrives, was just wondering of some of your opinions!! im getting the chemical grey! so what coulor you think i should do them!??

Also has anyone replaced thier headlight bulb, i am thinking of changing mine for a blue bulb and was wondering if any of you people have done this!! as i think the normal white bulbe colour is just boring. want them to look like xenons!!
thanks

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

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 .

HI, i did the calipers in red on my chemical grey , i think it looks ok

Looks fairly good.. any chance of a photo with a wide shot?

it looks like u painted more than just the calippers at the front, and obviously the rear drums.

hi, i also painted around the front hub surrounding the disc, but that is just personal preference. I will get some better photo's as this was done with a camera phone

ive just done ma first calliper n bout to do my second one 2day!
does nebody know how long u ave to leave it 2 dry?

not sure how long you have to leave it for but that looks good. how hard is it to paint them on a scale of one to ten? cheers
