i just wanted to ask how many of you, if any have colored brake calipers? and if so what colors do you all have?

i have a black car with black alloys and initially thought i would go with white, but then obviously they will jus get caked in brake dust and i dont fancy takin the wheels off everytime i clean the car, lol
 
We did ours in red

I do like the red, halfords had red foliatec for sale for a fiver but it seems to be a very used color, I couldnt bring myself to buy it, I was thinkin yellow or blue, leanin on blue now tho, i'd really like the white, its been I my head for a while but its jus a bad idea
 
Blue seems like a good choice of color then, lol, think I might go with that. I went and bought white punto stickers for my wheels before I realised white isn't good, sure I can use them elsewhere, thanks for ya inputs
 
I think the stickers are a bit big for centre caps, I was thinkin of stick then on a spoke as mine are quite big, I got 8 of them but thinkin 1 per wheel, still unsure yet tho of what it might look like so skeptical of stickin then on really, gota do it to find out

I like that orange! I have rear drums tho, I gota 1.4 sound, was thinkin of jus sprayin drums white/black or same as calipers

i like them they look smart, i clicked on the link someone (not sure if it was yourself? posted in there aswell where you can design your own, might have to have a think and come up with somethin but i think have the fiat badge would be best, it jus looks right
 
Mines silver with like an electric/baby blue calipers, looks rather tasty if not Chavy :) why not try yellow like the scorpione


you've jus listed 3 different colours that i've thought about doin, lol, im not lookin for the 'chavy' look, i know a lot of chav's do colour there calipers and stuff but for such a small amount of work, i think it makes a big difference, especially the right colour, it jus stands out
