   i say keep them subtle, standard saxo brakes are nothing to write home about, just paint them black, anthracite, silver or that light goldy OEM colour

   Def not white, would look odd. I'd just go with black or anthracite, but to be honest, once dirt gets on, they will look black so just do them black.
