Red Brake Calipers for a 2010 E63 AMG

I absolutely love the look of red brake calipers on a black vehicle. Can the stock ones on the above model be switched out for red ones. Any info or links would be much appreciated as I am new to MB. Thanks in advance.

I'mpretty sure the non P (grey) brakes are the same as the P (red). So it should ba a simple swap... I'm sure someone in here can confirm that.

I would just have them painted, much cheaper than buying a new part in a different color.

I concur, you can get caliper paint from any auto part store. Just take the wheels off, and it's a simple job to give your calipers a couple of coats.

Yes, the non-P and P brakes are the same. Indeed, it would be easier to just paint them. You can also swap on the Brembo logo like Vic did. If you are getting the AMG logo back on there, just make sure not to get them backward like this guy did on the C63 forum.

Not painted red but I have painted many a caliper red prior to AMG offering the OEM option. Painting is very easy and this set was done with the calipers on the rotor. I had zero issues with chipping or quality in the short 16 months I owned the car afte the mod. The job literally took about 4 hours for the 4 corners.



Edit, found a pic of my old a$$ e55
