So the R calipers are dull! They don't stand out enough for my liking. Which colour do I go for? Answers on a postcard.

Red is the obvious choice. It's red, yellow or blue isn't it? But well open to opinions, except for "leave them standard dull Grey"

Thanked 1,393 Times in 1,068 PostsSometimes less is more. I think totally changing the colour is too much of any colour!
If I ever did mine, then I would just have the R decal a different colour. Like 'off red' to match my side window TWR decals.
Kinda like what IPD done with their 'Project Flash Green V70R'. They called it a S3R.....

Don't know whether to stick with the 'R' logo or change to 'Brembo'.Factory White 855R : 2.5 Bottom End : Ported & Flowed Cylinder Head : TD04 19T TurboVXR Injectors : ME7 Manifold : TWR Throttle Body : Blackbeast IC : AEM Progressive WI : Ferrita 3" DownpipeMilltek Cat-Back : BC BR Coilovers : IPD ARB : AP Racing Brakes : M56 & Gripper LSD
