So after buying the KSport BBK from Phil last week I got it fitted yesterday. After spending 4 hours getting the yellow spray paint off one. :oops:

Great upgrade, they really stop you!

Just need to decide what colour to have them painted now, I’m thinking silver or gold like the M performance ones.

Looking good and no time wasted getting them on :thumbsup: worthy of a bold colour imo :wink:

I agree, the black hides how but they are. There are 12” callipers and that’s a 19” wheel :D

Is it strange that 330mm discs look tiny in those wheels?

Although I do prefer the understated look:

Are you sure those discs are fitted to the correct sides? They look as though they could be the other way round? :?

I’d be going brighter as they’re lost with those wheels IMO

100%, I did a lot of research and it’s common for people to put them on the opposite side due to what. People assume is right.

The discs are two piece as expected and they have fine that need to point backwards to move air away.

Mounted the other was will pull the air into the brakes.

I was thinking gold or silver. Really not sure though.

I wouldgo BMW blue metallic or silver or graphite myself, but none look horrible.
 
Gold or Blue for me, both OEM colours for big brake kits on various models and they look good. Beyond that, go mad. Had a friend with a blue Jag F Type SVR who went for luminous lime green calipers, looked really good shockingly!
