It's my car and had the calipers professionally stripped and painted along with re stencilling the Aston Martin lettering by Brake Caliper Specialists in Nottingham
They were black previously and didn't stand out against the black wheels and discs. I love the yellow colour. So go for it.
Hey Chris. hope you don't mind me asking, but how much did that cost?

I think it was around £400. But it was over a year ago now. The quality was good. They stencilled the lettering instead of the cheaper stickers some offer.

I had to pay for postage to send them but the return costs were included in the price along with new bleed nipples. They also pressure test them and refurbish if necessary. If I remember you contact them for a quote first.

What's the general consensus on changing the calipers on a Ceramic grey Vantage from black to yellow ?

Trying to find examples pics but can't so if anyone has any of a ceramic with yellow then please share.
Personally I think any colour accents on the exterior should be complimented by the same on the interior, whether they are yellow or red. Collars and cuffs etiquette surely? smile I think Phil74891 would concur.

Can't believe I haven't got a decent pic of the interior showing the yellow stitching on my lightweights, so I'll have to post a gratuitous pic of the exterior.
