I would go with Red, but you should also consider yellow if you want it to look like a BMW Performance part

S_1_N_3_R · 07-15-2010, 04:02 AM

Go with black!

Irishace · 07-15-2010, 05:55 AM

Alpine white!

I'd go with red. I don't think black would be very noticeable, unless that is what you are going for. From above I think yellow or even white would look good, but I'd still pick red.

Isn't this what you wanted from the topic, instead of decreasing your options it's increased them for you

if its red or black, id say black to go along with your theme...but if you are open to other opens, white would be nice

Black for clean stealth look. IMHO painting OEM calipers to make them stick out looks cheap. Exception might be if you get them professionally powder coated/painted and upgrade brake rotors to cross drilled and/or slotted

If you're getting BBK then you certainly want them to be noticeable ... as the saying goes "If you got them flaunt them!!!" IMHO red compliments black car, yellow would be the second choice. If you want to be unique Lambo Lime Green BBK on black car will look
