for the purple/blue cars I would say that orange caliper would look awesome. I was telling drex to paint his oem ones, but he got the slk55 ones instead.

thought I stick the W204 stuff in this thread as well, so here goes

first mod. DIY vinyled the side marker. gonna get it painted or get the clear one sooner or later, but this will do for now. vinyl's a little too pale compare to the arctic white tho. also did the side marker my sister's 208 CLK320, the white matched her Glacier White perfectly.

also tinted the car 32% all around. I'll get that pic tomorrow.
