I mean it's to late it's done.

But i'm thinking it would of looked better in blue :rolleyes:

anyway i've never liked the idea of having floating 2 pots on the front.

So they'll be going sometime this year

Looks good to me Stu. I think all calipers should be red. Come to think of it, I think all CARS should be red. :lol::thumbsup:

look fine to me :)

any other colour than red or silver looks daft and youve got to have half substantial (sp) brkaes to pull of red pain anyway

I painted mine with black smoothrite 5 years ago and they still clean up like new. I think the red looks ok but not my cuppa. I prefer to make peoples eyes look at the car, not it's components

Did ours red,  :yes:  But they ended up blue  :thumbsup:

I'd be well miffed if I bought red paint and they turned out blue :bye:

I'm not trying to "flash" up my car. lol

If you knew what kind of abuse i gave the poor thing on the track then you'd understand that. :P

What Stu doesn't realise, is that the paint may have been free leftovers ....... but I charge £40 per hour :lol:

Thats quite funny; because as by pure coincidence thats how much my Team Orion 12x3 electric motor has just cost you :D

yep red on red looks good.... until you have to replace a front caliper :o

red on white looks a bit odd...... and your car needs to be lowered a bit :D
