Painted Calipers
Hey All,
I bought a set of C32 calipers that were professionally painted red. I actually would have just preferred the silver AMG calipers, but I got a good deal on these. I was just wondering if I should paint the rears red too or just leave them alone. What do you guys/gals think? I've attached pictures with one side red and the other stock.
If anyone is interested in the red fronts, I might be persuaded to swap with your silver C32 calipers.

I like silver calipers on a Benz but somehow Brembo's always look great in red.

Red is the authentic brembo look, but gold rotors on a sliver car looks amazing. For some reason I like the way the silver calipers look on cars with the AMG pack.
