Red callipers look kinda nice (I've got silver alloys). What do you recon, pointless/unnecessary or a worthwhile touch? Im of the 'if it aint broke...' ilk (on good days)

I think blue would suit the yellow more... red is just stereotypical dont you think?

Do you want the calipers to stand out and be "remarkable"/seperate from the car, or to blend in and be a piece of the whole?

If the former then red (traditional) or yellow (to match the car) would both be great, otherwise I would stick with the black...

I quite fancy the detailing paint idea though...hmmm

I have seen the AP Racing painted yellow and it looks pretty good so would go with that option, (although would probably look more standard spec in red) Having the whole calliper red unless professionally done, will look a bit Halfords (only my opinion!)

Im not really sure what I want. Something that stands out would be nice, but I wasnt sure whether calliper detailing was considered cool Red or yellow sound good, I wonder what colour would look best on a yellow cerb.

Red. Certainly makes the car go quicker

Looks good Kojak. Anyone got pics in yellow, perchance, and do AP Racing brakes come as standard?

Did mine in red, too... just a tub of Foliatec caliper paint. Don't think yellow on yellow gives enough contrast. Would go for black with white lettering, otherwise.

All Cerbs have AP brakes, AFAIK.

My 96 4.2 came with AP brakes.... I think it's just the 4.5 have slightly bigger discs.
