Ill put the front ones on without the 2 outer stripes, but the rears wont fit from what ive seen. Theres no real face on the rear calipers.

I made the rears fit :lol:

I bought the same ones everyone else has bought, I just haven't looked at putting them on the rears as I dont think theyll look good. I may not even put the fronts on... just bought them just in case :D

I think you gotta go for Gold.! Gold has not been done enough. Contrast would be great to.

I like gold, but the factory brembos are gold.

Red is too common. Golf GTis have red calipers and they ain't even six-pot... Considered something really subtle like cast aluminum? Or polished?

I know you already picked the colour but here's a pic of the caliper painted yellow, just in case you want to change your mind :D

Just don't mind the gutter rash...

I think the yellow would work better with darker wheels maybe.

Interesting that you painted the back of the brake pad too. Is that the norm? Should I do that too?
