not yellow .... i just think yellow calipers look tacky. they only work on certain cars an on your black one you'll end up in the same bracket as the corsa-chav-brigade.

go subtle ... orange... :lol: lol

i think black or silver would look good.

Saw a lovely black RX7 once that had been front end crashed so the guy fixing it up with a subtle front end/body kit to get rid of some of the chavness that was on it and then put gloss black wheels (18s) and black calipers. the car looked really good when he was done.
 
Put my new drilled/grooved discs on at weekend and decided I had to tart up the calipers. Seeing tomscott's orange calipers made me race to halfords to get a can of red and yellow. Mixed together painted one oh dear :( just doesn't work. so back to b&q to get hammerite satin black. Yep think that's the one :thumbsup: but not sure if heat resistance will be an issue
 
If / when I get around to it, I will have Red on my black coupe but I have red interior and piano black.. what colour is yours?
 
Have black leather and carbon wrap on dash, think a bright colour might clash with BMW wheel logos
 
a deacent deep red might work.... dont be tempted by the VHT red paint......

trust me, i used it on my cam cover and daeglow orange is a better decription. the only colour ive seen that can match it is some of girls out on a friday night around here.
 
i can see a consensus of opinion forming here for red ? hope my blue on sapphire black not going to offend 8)
seen the same combo on a black R50 touareg & it looked mighty fine :)
gotta wait for the new discs & pads first though
