BLOW THE BANK ______ GET THE BREMBO"S!!!!!!!!!!!

oggle

PINK!!!

first of all i am still short of moeny to get the Brembo...and i want the cool colour look.
I thought of getting silver too, but wouldn't the colour be too close to stock look. Pink is very sharp, it kinda reminds me of Kleemann.

I forgot to mention I have a white C230 Coupe......pink, silver....what else. what colour fits best on white C Coupe?

Diz382Benz

I like the why those silver AMG one's look on the c32

so i vote silver!

o0omarko0o

black....or better yet
black n white stripes?...

Rick

why not ....FLAME ORANGE

Be original, be bold. Paint each caliper a different color!!

i voted on the other thread...

i'd also suggest black on one side, and silver on the other. or red/blue (or your school colors...) :p

What colour is your car?

Well, I'll actually pick one from the list and say RED.

My car is white also and if I ever do it, I would probably do red. I kinda like the gold ones like on the G35, but I don't think it would look the same on the coupe. It helps to have those red letters over the gold that say Brembo.

Tye dye them dude!

paining them each in different colour is jut too much for me man. I don't want to be that stand out. But it is a very cool suggestions tho.
Wouldn't red be too sharp for a white coupe? I think Silver and black would be very similar to stock.....

any more other suggestions. thanks guys...

Lynn

I think blue would be a good choice for a white car.

webbersworld

wanted to paint my calipers as well. I have a brilliant silver c230k. I have no clue what color to paint them though.. any ideas? Also, does anyone have pics of their silver cars with painted calipers?


Thanks

For a silver car, I'd go with red. Kind of a traditional look. I've seen lots of German cars with red Brembos.

If I were able to paint them without taking the wheels off, I would paint the red.

For my white coupe, I painted them yellow. A different choice than the overly common red. Not too sharp, but still stands out well.

Outland

Chrome 'em! How about black wrinkle?- ugh, forget that, cleaning wrinkly finish sucks. A dark silver metallic hammer finish would look nice.

Lynn

Get a can of yellow and a can of blue and mix them. Be the very first person to have green calipers.

moomeh

what do you guys thinks goes with capri blue? yellow? i was thinking it would match my college colors then perfectly.(uofmichigan a2....GO BLUE!)

20FHK02

How about GO BEARS?!!! Cal is also in yellow and blue too

i think green is a little bit too much for my white coupe.

i am thinking of painting it gold, but i am scare the gold won't turn out as shiny as the brembo brakes and it might look funny.

my second choice won't be Purple, i kinda like the Kleemann purple look. I think it will loook very sharp on a white coupe.

3rd options is to get red, but wouldn't red be too common and would it look funny on a white car. I know red looks good on black and silver, not too sure about white tho.

well...thanks for all your helpful inputs.......i think we should all paint our brake calipers.....i think it really does make a different for the car.
