   Hey all,
   
   Was going to paint the calipers on the mk2 vts it's dark metalic green (can't remember the exact paint colour name)
   
   was thinking of doing them red then went on here

   now i'm loving the orange, what does anyone think?
   
   the wheels are the VTS 5 spoke star ones so you should see a lot of the caliper
   
   Cheers

   Never thought of orange... That looks quite smart!
   
   Orange callipers would look good against a dark colour imo.
   
   Go for it!
   
   And if it does look good, get some pics up, i might do it aha

   i think your car colour maybe amazon green and i think ornage would look cool with dark green,,then maybe you could do badges and chevrons etc the same orange to go with it? Just a thought mate.

    na i wouldnt of put that resemblace together lol although now youve said it......... na im only poking i think if you wanna play it safe go with lime green or red, cant really see yellow or orange working with it to be honest. if it comes to it, flip a coin! lol
