Brake Caliper Options

[Cyclone1]

I think this pic makes it pretty clear what is the correct colour choice:

Have to agree that against the black bodywork that the red caliper looks better than the bright yellow. Against blue I wouldn’t be so sure, plus I wouldn’t go for such a bright yellow

Alfa Romeo were the first the paint callipers and they were red. Anything else is just imitation.

Anodised look good for about a year then fade and splinter.

The only thing that should be yellow on a car is the rear plate, end of

Woteva!

Don’t listen to him, anyone can colour in on computers… case in point below, a picture of a man vandalising a Stradale, while wearing a hat coloured to match his favourite brake caliper colour.

Tasteless - considered to be lacking in aesthetic judgement. Lacking in style or good taste. Lacking delicacy, refinement and good breeding.

You would think @Swedish Paul would have an opinion on the blue plus yellow topic....

Yes I do. Red.

White on yours works well with the black body. My interior is Bianco pregiato so not sure it would work against Sof blue.

Some say I might be biased but it doesn’t get better than blu Sof with Bianco interior and yellow callipers. More than half the reason I had to buy my GT . I fall in love every single time I look at it.

on red vs yellow I’m firmly on the red side……but on blue yellow does look good. But then the Maserati yellow, think of originality and when you one day, god forbid, have to sell

Red is of course the world’s finest sports cars’ calliper colour of choice. Or rosso, as you Italiophiles would call it.

But I have to concede that yellow looks bloody good with blue.

The car is booked to have the calipers done in September, thanks for all the advice and guidance. I’ll post up pics once it’s done.
