Which Caliper color for EBII?
I just purchased some 335 MSport front calipers and rear M performance calipers to fit my 328, but can't decide on what color I want to powder coat them. I have looked and looked and did searches on here and on google and other than standard brake colors, I haven't seen any "other" colors much with EBII. I am leaning on the side of yellow, but am debating between orange, Ferrari/Porsche yellow, silver, and any other bright colors...
If you have EBII with a bright color post pics please...or any other color car with bright colored calipers. Here are some examples of colors I like but can't decide which would look best on EBII... I have M3 513M wheels and am putting a CF lip on the front. I have already put CF mirror covers and will be putting satin black vinyl on the roof. You get the idea...any thoughts would be great! Thanks

That is what I was leaning to at first...but something about the yellow on the GT3 looks amazing. Maybe it is the calipers themselves that look amazing too

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...&postcount=397 I think a true yellow is more rare on BMW. Whatever color I choose, it will be a fairly custom color as I will powder coat them myself, so I might as well do something different...maybe acid green similar to the first picture.

Thanks, I do too, and that is how I am leaning. My front calipers will be here today, so I will start cleaning them and prepping them for powder coat. Should be fun. I have some color chips coming from a powder coat company that will hopefully help me make my final decision.
Anyone else?
