Red will look good. You should do it. Get some AMG decals made to replace your AMG logo on the brakes as well. I painted my Brembo brakes white and did the Brembo decal in red.

I also like to see yellow brakes on white CLS's.

Smoke the red on the tailights, leave the clear part and do the calipers yellow. Red is so played out.

I was debating that as well last month and was about to get red Rotora Big Brake kit but decided to keep it stock since it matches the finishing of the wheels nicely. Can't go wrong with Red, it will match the light. Keep it clean and simple with the color scheme, black,white and red.

So red it is! Have to wait until spring time though![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I love gunmetal, however I don't think it will go with anything on the car
thanks![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I'll def get the AMG back on, most likely red but i'll see if I change my mind with a diff color by the end of jan
looks good, thanks![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Love it, I really wanted to do white but am worried about how often i'd have to clean them with all the brake dust, how are you finding it?
That's a bit too loud for me
but looks sick on the blacked out CLS
I don't intend on tinting the tails, yellow is decent just not for me
I believe they are just stickers, someone correct me if i'm wrong![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
Agreed! clean and simple. BBK would look good on your car though

White brakes are easy to keep clean. When I clean my wheels I wash of my calipers with a sponge and soap. The dust slides off every time with no problems.
