Yup, If I had to do it again I would probably get them painted. These corners were the first mod I did 2 1/2 yrs ago so I didn't know much about DIY.lol

in my own opinion.. it would be nice if you stick to dark colors... your car has silver,cf and black in it.. going bright would be something else..
but it is totally up to you! you got brembos anyway.. u flaked on me man! i copied your r1 concepts and u left me! lol... jk

lol, I hear what your saying. It's that the calipers I have on now are powder coated black and you could barely see them. I know the Brembo's are bigger but still...Maybe I'll go with silver or 744 to match the car...
I will still have the R1's in the back until I find something

2005 E55 AMG; 2005 CLK 500 (sold)
this will be my next target as well. I remember seeing a thread that some guys advices to just paint the OEM ones... I think it was dyno who suggested that too... I just can't find the thread anymore...
using the search option gives me all thread of mbworld forums and not just the w209 and I also tried looking manually at w209 thread and cannot find it still.
btw salty... your wheels looks good... are you going to keep the lip like that? I always like it when you can show off your big front brakes and calipers..

There was a pic in a thread few days ago of a car in motion with orange and looked very nice.

thats the orange paint. i believe that theres a blue one in there too. if i did go the powdercoat route, i would go for like a gold or baby blue like the stoptechs. i think their blue is just jaw dropping nice. lol
i dont think they make one. you would have to buy the parts seperately and custom one yourself. the problem is that, from what other have done (andy and buffy and a couple of others), they all say that the stock ones were better and there was some loss of power. or something along the lines of that.

Yea something like taking in too much heat. I think upgrading the airbox is the way to go

When you are in the 209 forum, on the top right hand corner by the page indicators you will see "search this forum" that will let you search ONLY the 209 forum.
Also I bought my painted corners from EVOSPORT (http://www.evosport.com/product/prod...VO.LTG.M09.PL1) for $150.
