i know quite a few people who've done it and it looks good you just have to keep cleaning them and a quick re-paint every now and again. Brembo are now produce yellow callipers which look quite cool. Fortunetly i have the jcw ones already painted lets see some pics

Did mine light blue (just to be different), but TBH not sure about it, so haven't got round to the rear yet.

[feybrand]

i did my old punto blue so that the car was the villa colours

[Jon Chalk]

yeah, it's a problem with BEP - red, yellow, nothing really goes with it

[ScottyBoy]

Mine are also red looks great due for a re paint this wk end! ill post some pics when ive done it!

[:: Jon ::]

mine..

[R99]

I am seriously considering this when my car arrives. However just a few questions if I may?

What sort of point would I have to use, and is it a case of just popping into halfords for some?

My car is black with polished R99's so what colour do you guys reckon would look best? I was thinking about maybe yellow or blue. But had some suggestions that it might look good just painting them silver...

[:: Jon ::]

if you paint them silver which in all honesty would give it the clean look paint the hub too..


halfords sell it on the hothatch section for around £20 comes with cleaner also..

I went for the touch of red to match the S badge..

[Haggi]

might do mine at the weekend red me thinks as i was going for yellow but ....

Second this - did mine too; looks better, plus is usually easier to clean than bare alloy.
