I think you should give yellow a go James.

I toyed with the idea of yellow when I had your car but wasnt brave enough and went with smooth black hammerite.

You could go all the way and have AP brake conversion with the black and yellow callipers

You know that makes sense

Thinking of doing mine- would be nice to see some pics when youve finishes!

Some APs would be sick but pretty unnecessary

That zed is crying out for yellow!

see that smoothrite comes in yellow - popped to halfords after work friday to get some, and they'd run out...who the f*ck buys yellow smoothrite?! well, apart from me..

anyway, plan to get this done over the next couple of weeks, should look good...i hope.

I got some Halfords yellow calliper paint and plan on doing (getting someone handy to do) mine soon.

I can't wait to see how yours or mine look....

Good choice with the yellow. Don't get cold feet whilst waiting for the re-stock.

Someone on the e90 forum bought a tin of silver and a tin of gold smooth hamerite. Mixed them together and got a lovely metallic yellow effect. It wasn't a screaming bright yellow but very subtle and cheap enough to try. The guy used what was left of the silver to do his hubs.
