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 think RichIS actually meant cleaning as in the regular bit for shows, meets etc, rather than preparation for treatment...Tng21 wrote:i might just give it a goRichIS wrote:how about getting them mirror polishedi wouldent fancy cleaning them though
worth a try, ive got some spare calipers and carriers. cleaning wont be a problem for me as i can sandblast them

Red, my good man

Don't know if gold will show up so much through an Alpina.

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,
