I don't know if you can buy these or have to paint them yourself.

You guys reckon look good if I paint the callipers white but try not to get paint on the logo?

or red im not sure what I want red, white or black!

Hmmmm.... i don't mind them in black but always love the traditional red calliper look, then i was also thinking well might be a bit tarty and dress them up in white so they are really visible and i obviously love my car too much to spend nearly 2k on brakes.

I think it's going to be one of those things where you actually have to buy them first to see on the wheels I can't wait until FITP.

I'm thinking, all the stuff in my sig on my car will look the tits!

yeah should be good. you could always get them sprayed somewhere before fitting. probs have to be powder coated or something because of heat etc.
