Explosivo Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I am now the proud owner of a shiny new A4 S-Line saloon in Akoya Silver with the styling pack 5 arm alloys. I already have the Audi ring decals and plan to paint the calipers but can't decide on the colour. For me there are only two options - Red or Black! I know many on here have already done this and gone for red, but I want to be sure it compliments the colour of the car and does not cheapen it in any way. Any views, anyone please?

lottiefox Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 As a bit of an off-topic but not really how do you keep the brake calipers looking shiny and clean? Please don't suggest anything connected with removing anything. I am, technically, useless. As Mollox will point out. I am terrified my red calipers will go pink.

Chav Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 So if you paint them red, do they stay red - or will they look shite after lots of miles? ...eg for someone who does 20-30K miles a year is it pointless etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
