Just got my w207 wrapped satin dark grey with gloss black wheels (and chrome delete) and was wanting to paint the calipers. I have an e550 so it comes with the amg sports package cross drilled rotors and I think a bigger caliper (not sure). The wrap color looks really good so I didn't want to take too much away from it but was thinking maybe gold/bronze or burnt copper mettalic (I think this is the closest you can get to the amg carbon ceramic caliper color). I was originally thinking of going yellow but think it may be too bright and take away from the overall car.
"Red calipers ARE very common", said the guy with red calipers lol.
There is a Panamera GTS with green calipers like on the R8 below that rolls through my neighbourhood. I quite like that. A lot of things go well with the grey and black tho.

Wow.. that audi looks awesome. I never really considered the lime green although a lot of people suggested it. My car has pretty much the same colorscheme with the satin grey and black with black wheels but it isn't a exotic super car. I wonder how this would look on the e coupe (especially since I don't have the big brakes). It's definitely made lime green a contender though, I may have to get rid of my black and yellow plates though and go back to the standard Cali white plates if I went with this. I'll try to get you guys some pictures of the car soon. The satin dark grey has some metallic flake which gives it a color change effect especially in sunlight.
In that case then you really have the whole color palate available. The green looks awesome. What is your favorite color?
my favorite colors are red and black actually😂
here’s a couple pics of the car it does look similar to the color of that Audi I think I’m leaning towards yellow. Will it look ridiculous on the mini rear brakes?
just got mine done yellow a couple days ago, looks great not too common was red before.

Porsche, as well as several other manufacturers, paint their calipers based upon the brake hierarchy:
Black: standard two piston front calipers & rotors
Red: larger “S” 4 piston front calipers & rotors
Yellow: 6 piston front calipers and carbon ceramic rotors ($23k rotor/pad replacement - KaChing,)
Green: brakes on a hybrid
White: specially coated rotors
