Another vote for black  :smiley:

If your driving it properly whatever fancy colour you choose will only end up black anyway...

+1 Still black or red for me

Gallardo Calipers all come black, and since 2011 get the Mass Dampener instead of the reinforcing bar of the R8V8.

If the car has colour coded calipers (£2k Option) they then go off to the Lambo approved paint shop for a lick of Arancio Atlas Orange or Ithaca Verde

Now having just encouraged the idea of sackiing off bright calipers Ithaca Verde with Black Lambo Decals would look bloody perfect looking at your cars colour John





Seen the rear calipers on that photo before ^^^^^^^^?????

here they are for your viewing pleasure, Kits already made to get these rears onto your car. Ceramic or Steel John choice is yours, just need to know where to send the invoice....statllers or to you!

This isn't doing much good!  Need to remind myself I can't afford rotor replacement time  :sad: :sad:

Trust me ive had a few fancy colours and if you are planning on driving it as heavy as it is modified then this is the best option! Had quite a few track days and still clean up like new unlike other colours pal. Although nice, not practical.

I was up close with Jamie Kips Suzuka Grey 8 Pots on his Stg2 TTRS  using the same rotor and pads as Geordies yesterday, yes they looked a little mucky but literally 10 secs with the jetwash and they came back to being the same as fitting day. Jonny uses a protecting ceramic coating or some other mumbo jumbo stuff on all the stuff he sends out.

JK doesnt hang around either...

I also spilt OEM brake fluid all over JamS3s gallardo calipers on His TTRS and even being unwittingly left on for a couple of minutes theres wasnt any damage.

So there are options for protecting them, Jonny said this stuffs £100 a tin plus VAT.

Black or Lambo green doesnt matter to me John, reliable options there though...

Just doing a set Solar Orange for a TT owner tomorrow

You are right Shaun, but will I be sensible or not. At the moment I don't know.  :confused:
