What colour calipers will suit my car?

Could somebody edit my car with photoshop and show me?

Thank you.

They were Black until I sanded the paint off.

I want my car to look really tarty not aggressive.

The alloys are very easy to clean compared to Alpinas.

agreed on that point but dont look as good. they are the alloys bought by old people who think they are making aesthetic improvements, and always to small and can be seen on everything from novas to micras :wink:

they look better than the soft spokes that you have on imo but would need to be 17's at least for maximum effect.

i dont understand all the fuss about the handling with 17's. i find my car to handle great and holds the road like its on rails.plus you dont get as much roll as you wont have comedy balloon tyres fitted.

What's going on? Doesn't everyone know that GOLD and purple ALWAYS go together? Go with Gold paint; every time you look at your car you'll feel like a pimp from Atlanta, Georgia. :cool:
