:headbang: what colour have people changed the brake calipers to bespoke their cars?

Well this is an option:- viewtopic.php?p=1648938#p1648938

But maybe not one you would opt for!

With a white car I'd either go for silver, or if you wanted them to stand out red would be good.
Coupes because stunning!

Just got a matte black caliper paint set. I have Avant Garde 510 wheels which are very 'open' (5 spokes) and I prefer to not accentuate the calipers and discs too much. Quieten things down a bit. Will post a picture once done.

Mine came with blue calipers and I can't be bothered changing them as they're kind of growing on me...
