Caliper Colours Help
« on: May 23, 2013, 07:10:45 pm »
Hi,

In looking to get my calipers painted front and rear and was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on colours and pics to show what they look like. I like the Lamborghini orange which I think is savage orange or maybe yellow but not sure which is best for a Black GTi

I'm thinking of doing mine too, I was planning focus st orange :) same kinda colour, I reckon it'd look good, my golfs blue, so I'm hoping it'd be pretty good contrast of colours

Ok cool sounds good, thanks, same goes for you... Yeah sounds good, I just thought orange was a bit different aswell lol, not very often you see those kinda colours on calipers.... They look sweet on the caddy mate.. I see what you mean about yellow though, would look good,

Any colour will look ok with a black car, tie it all together and paint/wrap your GTI lip in the grill the same colour. Always looks good when peeps go orange/yellow/green/blue/pink/white.......well you get the idea!  :wink:
