AP’s….red or polished, opinions

AP's should be red IMHO.
But are you sure that six piston set-up is going to be 'man' enough for your 1300kg car? Seems a bit light to me.

I think red on a red car is too much. Look great as they are but black would look good too. I’d paint the lettering though…

Love these AP calipers - would love them in yellow on my Z4MR (interlagos blue.) Did you buy direct from AP?

No 2nd hand from a forum member Mantona. I need to buy a new 4 pot rear set though.

Always think AP calipers look best in grey with yellow logo

They're my old ones aren't they John?
Interesting you mention needing rears, I could be tempted to sell mine as I would like to upgrade at some point to the CP-9449 to match my front 9660s, but it's not great timing as I've just fitted brand new oe discs and RSL-29 pads which won't work with the new calipers (pad shape is different and disc size up to 355mm). Anyway drop me a line if you like, perhaps we can work something out.

Stick with the raw finish and do something cool with the lettering. i checked the pricing on a new AP racing BBK front and rear for the z4m today and its a eye watering £5120 quid! awesome setup however.
