    Realistically it's probably down to yellow, orange or blue. Stock brakes on the Scirocco were black and I changed them because you just couldn't see them.

    Yellow will pop but will also show the dirt. My problem with the blue is that it may still be too dark and you just won't see it. Which leaves orange but I'm not 100% sold on this as it's a little too much non-stock. Unfortunately there's no red in the country which was my first choice.

    Yes I'm leaning this way. I think it's the best colour for a black car.

    Just need to get final clearance from the wife as likely she's the one that'll end up with the car in the longer term (and she says she's the one with taste in the household).

    Dutch are you able to magic up some yellow brake calipers with your wild Paint skills???

    No offence mrs tigger but you think fast wagons are like hearses, so I'm not rating the taste level.

    With Kaps or something aftermarket and tasty?

    Don’t let Mrs Tigger know that I’m converting her stylish SUV into a black sleeper wagon. Also I mentioned yellow calipers to her and didn’t get a no so I’m taking that as approval.

    Surprisingly she didn’t complain about the lowering when she hopped in to go to the shops just now.

    Love your work Dutch! I showed Mrs Tigger the mock up and told her that Macan/Cayenne come with yellow brakes and that sealed the deal

    Now lets hope there's no issues with shipping....
