I like the sound of Gold too....
Don't like the look of that E30 in your signature though jamesh. Shame, looks like it was a very nice car before the moron parked it there... Yeah, I know...

I'd go for Gold. I am planning to do mine also at some stage but I can't seem to agree on a colour.
Put some pics up when you're done.

i might just give it a go

worth a try, ive got some spare calipers and carriers. cleaning wont be a problem for me as i can sandblast them

I think RichIS actually meant cleaning as in the regular bit for shows, meets etc, rather than preparation for treatment...

gold if theyre uprated otherwise its not worth drawing attention to them.in that case id just do them a high gloss black

Even though my suggestion wasnt up I still stick by my suggestion of black! You cant beat a nice sudate update that only people in the know will notice......if you start painting them colours like red,blue or gold then there is a chance that you could be branded 'chav' by some!!!
My dad painted his calipers red on his MGTF (original not MGF bollox) and it looked an absolute pile of s**te so I painted them black for him and they looked so much better,
