Calipers

Hi, anyone got any pics of ovni Leons with coloured calipers?

Have searched but cant find any decent pics.

Unsure of what colour to paint, bought some black hamerite yesterday but have been thinking of yellow also.

Yellow if you want colour coded to match the car.
Red if you want a Brembo-like look.
Silver if you want something that stands out a little but looks clean.
Black if you just want to tidy them up a bit but keep it subtle.

Just my thoughts anyway

I agree completely, my exact thoughts, not sure how chavvy yellow would look thats all, I would like by car just to be black and yellow, I suppose its only £5 a tin if I want to change!!

I've been toying with the idea of a yellow and blue colour scheme when it comes to refurb'ing the Brembos. On the right car with the right wheels I think it would look spot on.

I think on your car though, as the callipers are smaller than the Brembos, it might not turn out quite as well. BUT... as you say, it's cheap enough for a new tin of Hammerite, so experiment!

Bravo, off to B&Q, I will take a picture of my multi coloured calipers before I decide for final!!

Do one in each colour if you're unsure!

Thats what I meant, red, yellow, black and silver. The only thing is it takes 5 hours to dry, I hope I dont need to drive anywhere urgently!!
