Agree! Gloss black! Or maybe match them to your body colour...

I've voted blue but there was no option for black, I would have said black coz it goes with everything dont you know.

Red = chav

Blue = chav

Yellow = chav

Gold = chav

In fact, any colour apart from standard = chav.

(he says with red fronts - on it when I bought it!)

Yeah could'nt agree more. Unless they're supposed to be red for example,And bought red. But not to bad if painted black.

How about camouflaging them with a 'rust/brake dust'-coloured paint mix?

Mine has gold calipers on it which were done before I bought it. To my mind the calipers just look standard brand new, the certainly don't attract attention, unless you look you wouldn't notice them. I actually thought they were new calipers, from when i bought it up until the first time i changed the pads then i noticed that they had been painted gold. they certainly don't look flash, just nice and tidy and subtle.

Just my 2p worth..............

Black.
Why would you want to draw attention to your calipers? Girls won't be impressed y'know.

If you've got a big tadger, get a gold cod-piece. If you've got big brembos, paint 'em red. Otherwise, keep quiet.

Now that would be chav

Why is yellow not an option? Would match my suspension then!

Or how about Techno-violet... colour coded wing mirrors, so why not colour coded brake calipers?

I think the red Brembos look cool though
