so i have a new car, as a few of you know, some silly bint pulled out on me and writ the old Sigma off . . . 
anyway moved on, got a nice Cherry (Rouge vallelunga) phase 1 5 door D-Turbo and started tidying her up, i'm kind of going for a red/black/white theme, got my old fogs with white covers to fit yet, but what colour to do the callipers? . . . . .black seems pointless almost, white seems a bad idea under white wheels so i can only think red really unless anyone's got any clever ideas? . . . . .anyway here's a pic of how she stands atm . . . .what do you think? . .
cheers, Matt . . .

Fair shout, think I might struggle to get high temp paint that colour though

silver wouldnt be bad. It would look OEM. White is a terrible idea. Red is meh and black is meh.

Yeah silver could be alright too I guess, don't want to muddle the theme with too many colours, not sure whether to go stand out or subtle

Imo, yellow would look a bit odd without some more yellow accents...
Plus if they're 247s, do you really want to make them visible?
