What color for calipers?
So I'm doing this c32/c55/ml55 brake upgrade in the front and e55/slk55 rear brake upgrade as well and I'm not sure on what color I should pick for the calipers. My car is black with two tone sliver/black and flat black rims. Any ideas? Red, sliver or green I thought might look good.

Red is classic, but I agree with 503...how about a orange/copper color? Seen it on a few cars and looks SWEET.

I would choose silver. Red is too common and "has been". A nice yellow or orange (à la GT-R) could look very nice indeed

Nice greens here https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...oto-shoot.html
I must admit the 63 looks like a wolf in sheep's clothing...

I think i'm leaning towards kelly green or maybe even white. IDK red is played out but it does look mean.

I think silver is normal basic color, and 90% similar to the Rims color. maybe its the reason most people like to paint
them,, if the Rims in the dark gray or carbon or balck, silver well be looking nice to keep.........
