W212 with factory AMG brakes already common? How about golden ones?

When it comes to vehicle customization, enthusiasts often seek to strike a balance between performance, safety, and distinctive style.
Take this E-Class , for instance. In addition to upgrading the car with the factory AMG Performance high-performance braking system, the owner has also opted for a gold-finished treatment on the front and rear AMG calipers.

The AMG Performance braking system features 6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rears, paired with 360mm perforated discs - the highest factory upgrade available for this model.
This comprehensive AMG brake setup provides significantly improved stopping power, reduced braking distances, and enhanced overall driving safety.

Furthermore, the 6-piston calipers employ a staggered piston arrangement, which not only delivers robust braking performance but also ensures a more linear, progressive pedal feel.
This translates to a more comfortable driving experience for both the owner and their passengers.

Complementing the mechanical upgrades with a striking golden caliper finish, the owner has achieved a captivating blend of enhanced capability and eye-catching visual appeal, a testament to the idea that true automotive passion lies in the details.
Naturally, you should drop by my iCARMIX shop, see what's in store for your ride (3 pages of goodies):

How do you keep them clean of brake dust?

Worst thing to see is golden surface under black brake dust...

If brake dust is causing a huge concern for you, then go for ceramic disc and pads. Otherwise, try to enjoy tinkering with your car's accessories, and cleaning them is a part of that.

These look very cool when matched with the gray wheels but I'm not sure how these will look with the chrome wheels

Oh then I can paint them a different color, or go with the classic AMG red, easy peasy
