Caliper color question.

Scrappy · 11-15-2011, 07:07 PM

What color would you paint the calipers on a MR car?

MR///M3 · 11-15-2011, 08:26 PM

don't paint them (coming from a guy with a melbourne red car too)

fastrack · 11-15-2011, 08:33 PM

yellow

datbimmerdoe · 11-15-2011, 08:34 PM

black

Kyoshi71 · 11-15-2011, 08:46 PM

There was a great meme floating around here somewhere. It read, "Painted Calipers...The Poor Man's Brembos."

That just about sums it up.

Don't

BMW Fanatic · 11-15-2011, 11:39 PM

I thought about doing this also but then it doesn't make sense if you think about it. BBK or keep the OEM black.

Don't do it. OEM calipers look best black.
