Why are those discs white?


If I'm not mistaken the colour is Brembo Grey..............


....Well I've seen them in the metal in the balloonist's garage and they looked white - Albeit a dull white rather than bright white. It'll be interesting to see what colour they become after some use.

Methinks the 'white' (Brembo Grey) would look much better coloured black to suit your car, Nath.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the 'white', nor the gold disc finish, or does that wear off?

Cheers - we learn something new every day  :happy2:

The 'white' didn't look very grey in your garage, but.. It is what it is.
