Brake Caliper Color
I'm getting bored with my caliper paint color - currently black - and i wanted some advise on what i should do. I'm thinking between 3 colors. I want red because i think it'll really pop on a black car with the taillights. I also want the SLS/GT-R Bronze -> http://www.vividracing.com/forums/ga...reBlack21a.jpg <- i love this color and think it's super classy, just not sure if it'll clash with my interior as mine is mocha. and my last choice was a slight match of my interior golor? perhaps a bronzeish?
I attached pictures of my braks + interior. Can someone give me a p-shop on the last photo of how the GTR brake color would look on my CLK?

I'm going to paint mine silver to contrast against my upcoming black & chrome wheels. I think the bronze would look great on your car.

Surprised to didn't paint them black then add tiny silver brush strokes to simulate CF 
They look awesome in red, no missing them thats for sure!

I don't think you can go wrong with black, red or silver. I have mine done in silver and really like it. But red may be the color of choice next spring.

It doesnt matter OEM or not (just like whe you replaced your front grill w/ one slat grill.) ...its just a cap anyway and dont think you can tell which one is real or knockoff.

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

Ummm, no... Either I'm b.s.'ing about all my 'mods' or they are still all in a container en route from Canada to Dubai
These are the ones;

There have been months of delays in shipping but last week my moving agent did email me and say the sea-freight container was loaded so I'm really hoping that it gets moving this week. Once it gets rolling I'll have it in 6-8 weeks.

I'll be damned, they sure do look like 18's! I thought they were 18" reps. It's gonna look great rolling on 19's.

The funny part about the bronze/gold on the E55 is that it probably wasn't painted.
The oem silver calipers turn that colour after a couple of hard laps without a cool down lap.
