   Cant think what colour to do the front and rear calipers. Please give ideas and I'll try and play on Photoshop with some of them!
   Really want to get the colour right as I can then do small touches to the car with the same colour, like the 'R' in VTR for example.

   I'd go with white because that seem like your colour theme.

   I was thinking white but think it might look strange and not stand out. If that makes sense?

   As much as White hasn't really been done, won't see much of it behind the alloys and it will get filthy as fuck very quick. If they were black alloys I would have said go with something like purple or brown. Something different that'll stand out

   red all the way. no point painting your callipers white as theyll stay white for about a week before youll need to repaint them

    Black. They never stay the colour you want unless you spend to much time cleaning you car rather than driving it.

    In the shed I've got red, yellow, and blue hammerite. Think I'll give red a go (winning the poll), then if not I'll go for yellow. And if ALL fails I agree with going black, it will save a ton of hassle.
    
    Pain in the arse having a black and white car, all black would have been easier!

    Personally, the colour that they are when they are new looks best imo, the silvery/gold looking colour? But i did mine black because they're nothing fancy and i'd rather not show off my rubbish brakes lol
