Definitely NOT recommended.
You are driving a Mercedes- not a Honda Civic.
If you like the color- have your calipers powder-coated or use the caliper paint kit.
As far as the technical reason- they accumulate brake dust and will prevent brake cooling. They mount to the calipers using a high-temp silicone adhesive and is almost imposible to remove if you ever need brake service.
