As for the brake calipers changing color, I've read that too, it's the clear coat yellowing. I still think the OP's ride would look great with bronze.

The Roderick RW2's are beautiful, period! EuroTra$h's set up (wheels & brakes) is flat out awesome.

I can't wait to see your car when finished. It is going to be awesome

ice blue or a light powder blue looks sick on silver
I think the right orange can look pretty good on a charcoal/dark gray car - yellow too.

I think you're right, gold and black is the way to go.
