Caliper Color; Opinions Please
Any opinions on what is the best caliper color for the C43?
If you look the three AMG models C43, C63 and C63s all have different brake caliper colors- the C63s has the nice Red ones.
I have a black C43 with the Black AMG 19", 5 spoke, I love the color Rosso Corso for my brakes, which is Ferrari Red. Though I do not want to make it look like I am trying to build a Faux C63s.
What color rotor is on the AMG Carbon Fiber brake upgrade? Maybe that would be good.
I'm willing to consider any opinions

I have a black c43 and went with red. It goes with all the red details on the interior and the AMG center caps. Why would it look like a faux c63s? Now they own the rights to red calipers too? IMO my car looks like a c43 with red calipers.

Yes Red has always been my first choice but I don't want to take any crap from people saying it is poser C63s, but then again I really don't care what they think.
I appreciate your opinion
It will either be red or Blue I am thinking, I want to keep it in the supercar realm, nothing too off the wall.
My speed shop up her in Mass does it for $500 for 4 wheels. At the same time I am going to have him put on Porterfield R4S Carbon Ceramic brake pads, for less dust, I only have 5500mi on the car so far and the rotors are mint.

The brake pads should help. These brakes get dusty pretty quickly.

In reality though I do believe the Russo Corso red color is the AMG Gold standard color and would look awesome, that is the obvious choice. Lime green though out there would also look cool.

I did not get this done yet but am still planning on it, when Porterfield puts out the RS4 brake pads, for the C43 in January, I am going to a place called Speed Life Motorsports in Haverhill, MA- I have seen some of their work on Audi's and they look great!- They charge $500 for the 4 calipers. They installed my AWE exhaust and did a great job.
I purchased my C43 at Mercedes Benz of Burlington and they told me that The Body shop they use- Auto Body It Is, in Woburn, MA- paints calipers for $100 each
I still like the Candy Cobalt Blue color with my Obsidian black car.

I think the 63s has bronze/yellow calipers any way?
