All of those colors would look great.
On A white C63 I would say metallic orange or metallic blue.

The OEM C63 brakes are made by Brembo.
It cannot be bigger then stock becuase the biggest BBK Brembo makes for the C63 is a 6 piston caliper, same size as OEM.

i know our oem brakes are made by brembo, i thought he got an aftermarket brembo kit. It was hard to tell since he just drove by but to me it looked like he was running bigger rotors.

When I called the body shop to do them - they said if had the exact colour code, it would help - it tells them how much to mix of what.

That looks great... but I think the contrast would make it look a bit different on white. Still looks awesome, though.
