Refurbing mine at the moment and have no idea what colour to paint them.

Yellow car with Mitsu Evo 10 colour RL's

Yellow is out as everyone will always get me mixed up with Fubar.... laugh

Was going to say black but feel they just won't stand out.

Could I get away with red? eg

I realise they are on the roof or a eurobox/stbox, but I hope there was no residual brake fluid on them hehe

Been meaning to do this for a while now i was thinking of white with black lettering, b**tard to keep clean but i think it will really make the calipers stand out

Maybe.

Though I have said I will not compete in the Cerb until I have done the body-off... then again, the BST's are just awesome, so I am thinking about it.

You going to come join us in the TVRCC Speed Championship next year? I'll be needing someone to beat... wink

I am a little bit lighter than you I think, its got to help surely? hehe

Well I am none the wiser now. Both red and black would look good I think.

I'm still swaying to the red a little as I want people to be able to see them after the time and effort that goes into these things. laugh Plus they look a little more racey.

Well I went with the White on Red in the end.

What an absolute bugger of a job painting those letters is!

I officially have the worlds shakiest hands!

Photos to follow.

Black, do you really think anyone is going to look at the calipers on a "Cerb" just shine up those huge gleaming tailpipes??
