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.

it was red for me. if you like i could do a few photoshops... [ATTACH=CONFIG]25272[/ATTACH]
Yeah please do! 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" :uglyhamme

Gold, not yellow bud :-)
Yellow for me
Sometimes 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..... http://www.europeancarweb.com/events/1310_2013_ggvcoa_volvo_show_autocross/photo_08.html That car is sitting on 19" Pegs and lowered.
Chris, the answers obvious, red but remember to put Porsche stickers on afterwards :cool:
[QUOTE=MIKESC70T5;714642]Chris, the answers obvious, red but remember to put Porsche stickers on afterwards :cool:[/QUOTE] Red is the most obvious choice. Boring though? Don't know whether to stick with the 'R' logo or change to 'Brembo'.
blue or gold for me.........more gold i think:smlove2:
Same colour as the bodywork for me more classy mate that's what I did with mine lol
[QUOTE=volvokid;714577]I want orange on mine. How much is this costing you[/QUOTE] It's about £250 a set, for strip refurb, new seals etc, and paint. For a little extra they'll do a composite ceramic coating, and guarantee them for 5 years. Hopefully i'll be able to get a deal, as I'll have the 2 sets from the S60, plus a set of AP's from the 850!
Being a little controversial hear but isn't having a discreet car the part that makes out performing the next car more fun. Personally I think the bright colours are too much for the car as they're is nothing else on the car that's bright and shouting out. Chris stay discreet, if you want something better that the original colour go slightly lighter with a silver, better still swap the colours, paint the caliper body the same colour as the R badge and paint the R in the current colour of the caliper body ;)

[QUOTE=volvokid;714779]Cool I thought about £300 so you just send them the whole caliper and they rebuild it?[/QUOTE] Yeah.
Saffron or Orange Chris.

A buddy of mine had his Big Reds done in orange, superb job. They come back like brand new.
As a bit of a designer I would suggest you either paint them silver or black. I feel that any other colour, due to the colour of your vehicle, will kill it. If you had a black vehicle that would be a different story. Just my suggestion but as it's your vehicle you do what pleases you.
....an insightful designer at that lol as said in post#7 chris that cars dying for the sport skirts...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]25384[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] note kidding. weather its oe or not, it dosnt float my boat. but thats my opinion and im sticking with it. if you dont agree with it not my problem. the rear bumper looks like some one has just drove through halfords and stuck some fibre glass spats on off a evo or sumit
