Any color - Your car will still be UGLY.

I made it an option so that you would reply to my thread.

Heavily considering that shade of blue right now! It gives me a bit of colour, but also fairly subtle.

Any phootoshop experts wanna help me out ??

Not fully sold on them yet, but I usually take time to open up to new options.

don't do red

you could just leave them black and have the lettering in white to give it a subtle pop.

Black is definitely my colour of choice, but then again I feel like it's not worth the investment leaving them black, I really could care less about the performance of a big brake kit on a 335 so it's all for the look. I'll get some heat for that statement but I don't really give a damn the stock brakes are fine for what this car should be used for.

What will you do with your Stock brakes?

I will probably sell my stock brakes and the BMW Performance big brake kit sometimes this fall or next spring.

Thanks man.
Looks like everyone has slightly different taste haha. Maybe I should just buy a bunch of spray cans and spray each of my stock calipers a different colour and see which one I like best. If I like none I'll go back and buy 4 more colours till I find something I like haha.

Hahaha, haven't seen you around as much until recently!
Am I crazy to think that if I want to go with a vibrant colour scheme I MUST have black wheels?

LOL! I am glad I had a good effect!

What color are you thinking for the brakes???

Zebra99 · 10-21-2012, 07:49 PM

Red always pops, but you're right everyone has it.

But then again, if you're interior is gonna be or is red then that makes the most sense.

Why not try a piano black with a hint of purple. It would be dead sexy in the light; your see a nice dark glossy purple and then a sexy glossy black away from the light.

^^this would add the sexy effect.

drevil2k2 · 10-21-2012, 08:07 PM

+1 for yellow (not tweety or big bird yellow), but slightly darker with some silver metallic effect.

Maybe grab the pantone colour wheel and find the exact shade and hue

abhishriv · 10-21-2012, 08:38 PM

found the link! i know the m3 is white but still think the caliper color looks amazing..

Huh? My car is on the road and always has been.

marcvtec · 10-24-2012, 06:55 PM

Oh, I always thought since you are always changing parts and stuff and you sig says overhaul, that you were doing some big project to it.
Either way my vote is a dark blue especially if the car is silver.
And ya red is to common

PM me when ever you are at that stage. thx

shaginwagon13 · 11-02-2012, 11:41 AM

This is a personal preference but I love the Monster Lime Green haha

With a Black car I think it would look even better.

Estoril Blue.
