   Got a day off work today and fancy doing some bits on the car, would you guys say painting calipers is a good idea. I was thinking about red or yellow calipers on my black saxo.

   Freshens them up a bit but Black or silver only imo..
   
   Thier not multi pots so whats the point in trying to show them off.

   +1 to the guy above, showing off the fine citroen break system is not really the plan, I just wanted to add some colour to the car and like how a mate has done his yellow.

    When you see colourful calipers you expect multiple pot aftermarket jobbies not single pot loser calipers..

    Both look very nice but i prefer the red ones probally because of the alloys
