   It looks like I'm going to have to replace my brake discs and pads after cooking them earlier today, so I figured that I might as well give the calipers a lick of paint whilst I've got them off.
   
   Given that I have gold rims, what colour do you reckon would look best?
   
   Rims...
   
   
   
   I like gold calipers normally, but they only really work with dark/black wheels.
   
   
   Any thoughts appreciated
   
   Cheers,

   Best idea that is Predator, black with the Gold sticker.
   
   Full gold wouldnt look right because of the gold wheels and any other colour i think it might look strange with too many colours about?

   Thanks Pred
   
   Yeah, I think I'll be going down that route. I've already got some VHT black paint, so will get some decals ordered. Not going to get the new discs and pads until probably Wednesday now, which is my day off, so I'll take the car for a brake test and to get the exhaust sorted first thing and then spend the afternoon sorting the brakes... (and fitting my new speakers, and running the power cable for the amp, and cleaning the car, and, and... lol.)
   
   Looks like I'm in for a busy day off

   I'd say black, will look sweet with the gold wheels, i think any other colour will clash
