Colour for Calipers
I have been wanting to paint the calipers for a while (fairly open rim design). And since I'll be switching to my winter rims soon, thought it might be a good time. I am back and forth on Black or Red. Let me know your thoughts. If I am feeling creative, will try and get the AMG logo in there as well, which I saw done on an earlier thread. Opinions welcome And if anyone wants to do photoshop for me even better
. Car is 90 300e black on black with Lorinser body kit, lowered and fake brabus rims.
Cheers

I haven't taken any new ones recently and this website won't let me post pics already posted
But here is the link to where mine are pg 22 of the Sedan pic thread.

I would paint them Red. I'm actually leaning towards painting mine red as well.
I WOULDN'T bother putting an AMG logo on your stock brakes. No offenese or anything but if you don't have the real AMG brakes no need to pose like you do.

Didn't know color's meant your posing these days - then I guess he can't paint his calipers any color since Red is apparently posing. Black will look like M-series or RS-Series calipers and Silver will be posing off as AMGs.
You're screwed bro!

I just don't think you should draw attention to your brakes unless you've got somethin to show...not to mention how puny our stock brakes look...amazing the difference between mercedes and audi owners on this issue..you'd almost get banned on audizine if you painted your stock calipers red!

That Silver looks good, but leaning towards black. Believe me if I could afford a BBK I would, but it's so far down the priorty list, barely worth mentioning. To me Gold doesn't suit the car, and although I like the red, may bring attention to the fact that they are unfortunately just stock calipers. Thanks for the laughs though.
