Hi all, I have just reserved a used new shape Cooper S. Teh only thing that I really dont like on it are the current brake calipers/discs, espec on the back, they just dont look big enough and as nice as the rest of the car.

Does anyone know of a good aftermarket provide that does a system for the car (fron and back), pref with a nice black or red caliper.

Thanks

JCW kit
AP kit
Brembo kit

I would just fit some better pads like pagid and not worry about it.

To be honest its not so much the braking power I am looking for, but the look of it. The brakes on the car are fine but just look shocking

You can paint brake calipers to make them look nice.

Yeah its more the size, espec the rear ones.... they look silly when you have the more open alloy wheel styles.

Imagine this car with some nice big drilled disks and red calipers.. front and rear.
