As title. Does anyone have any pics of red brake calipers behind standard 15" BBS? If you want to tick all the boxes it'd be a Dolphin Grey E30 too :wink:

I'm wondering about painting mine. Normally I think red's a bit Halfords-esque on small calipers or - god-forbid - drums, but I'm wondering if they're a bit hidden behind the BBS spokes whether they'll be nice and subtle.

Cheers,
Finn

The red will sit nice behind, you wont see loads of it but it will catch your eye and look great, if you dont like it you can always paint black over! :D

It does look nice actually. Are those the standard BM brake calipers? Can't tell on the photo.
