    Black or Red calipers - help me decide

    Still undecided on what colour to paint my calipers. Having just lowered my Tig I was thinknig of going with black with white decals but after photoshopping this image, I can't help but think that red will stand out much more.

    What do you guys think?

    Wheels are gunmetal, almost silver grey in direct sunlight.

    In my opinion unless you're going to install a BBK I'd suggest not drawing too much attention to the stock calipers. So if go didn't go black, I'd suggest blue:



    not sure yellow would suit a white car:



    ...and then there's orange, bright green and light blue... though get ready to repaint them in 3 months

    I'm thinking of plasti-dipping my "old" RS4 reps orange just for giggles. Pity you can't plasti-dip brake calipers
