   Bought a 266mm brake setup at the weekend - wondering what colour to paint the calipers.
   Im thinking either red, yellow or gold but not sure which one to go for or how it will look like behind silver VTS alloys on my posi blue Saxo.
   
   Comments and pics would be appreciated

    Mine are yellow! Although they will look much better when i get new wheels as you can hardly see them behind vtr alloys.

    i'm in a similar position, blue car, just bought 266mm brakes and trying to decide what colour to do the calipers. i'm torn between yellow and orange (also getting the towing eyes and rocker covers done to match).

    you'd hardly notice any difference if you painted them black imo...
