im thinking blue or gold, but i would like some suggestions? my car is silver with stock rims

jturkel

i like red. blue could look nice, depending on the blue. not sure if i'd like gold on a silver car. maybe on a black car

Dingleberry

stock...

rockjock

Silver-just like the C55-and match the rears to it.
Blue? There is no blue on your car-why add another color?

I would choose to leave it stock, but I really like the gold color of the SLS ceramic brake caliper

Black looks classy

i think im going to do red after thinking about it thanks for the input though

TemjinX2

i say red. but why mess up the amg on the brakes when its already stock brembos.

c32kompressor

wait we have brembo's stock?

RLx02

ah please no red...red should be there only if it came from the factory or aftermarket brake company like that imo.

TemjinX2

LOL yes. why do you think the c32 brakes so well

c32kompressor

wow i didnt know that we had brembo, thats cool lol

moosejaw

Yes look at the back of the caliper. A lot of cars have brembo calipers.
You can upgrade the fronts to MB Brembo 6 piston.
You can even upgrade the rears to MB Brembo 4piston from a SLK55 with some cutting of the dust sheild for a little over $ 1K for both.

Go to the track and see if you can get it to turn gold au naturale!

c32kompressor

doesnt it mean the brakes are shot when they turn gold??
thats what the thread from a while ago said

DarkXerox

No the calipers heat up to gold under heavy use, then back to silver when they cool. Doesn't mean they are shot.

i'd paint it black and new AMG letter'n

somethin like this



but in black / silver... i onno ...

c32kompressor

that would look really nice, but idk how i'd paint the lettering on again since its black on the stock calipers??

tommy

Just get AMG stickers on ebay. Slap 'em on when the paint's dry, problem solved.

c32kompressor

i didnt even think about that thanks for the idea!

In my opinion, all colors look terrible except for the stock silver (and black with silver letters looks good as well). The stock silver matches well with the entire car and the lineage of the AMG calipers. Yes, other cars look great with different colors, but not this one. jmo.

You're not going to listen to someone from Jersey about cosmetic mods, are you?

I did the G2 paint on my front C32 calipers; much cheaper, an easy DIY, and just as long-lasting as powdercoating for all practical purposes.

I've made a final decision before buying the paint today, I'm doing black with silver lettering

Theres a guy on Ebay that you can order some silver AMG high temp decals from for your calipers. He can also do custom decals if you want to do the design like the pic of the gold calipers. I bought some Brembo ones from him and they are great.
