calipers????????
after a 3 hour wash and polish on a sunny day(cant beat it,and its only march) i'm now thinking about painting my calipers but unsure what colour??
the zs is x-power grey and what ever colour i decide im gonna change the grill and boot badges to match. any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.:wave: |
Red calipers look quite good on XPG
|
Gloss black. Simple, subtle, tasteful, easily cleaned, and don't look cr@p if you forget to do!
Edit: why not create a poll on your shortlist, to see which alternative people favour? |

I think the other way, XPower green with black decals. Would look spanky :)

Red or Xpower green, don't paint the grill anything other than black or silver,,
Seen it painted green before and it was horrible. |
I have red on mine looks good, i know some people might say no to it but i used asda's red post box paint looks good goes on really easy and its thick has lasted and still looks good after 2 months.

Mines are green but will be getting done red soon on an xpg saloon.

I'd go with black with grey decals as a low maintenance option. Or red with black decals for the higher maintenance option!!
|
I was planning on doing mine black with white decals
Slightly understated for some maybe but I think it will suit a XP Grey car very nicely! |
Done mine yellow...........Hammerite. They look quite good, even if they do get dirty.

just found on ebay caliper clip on's. they are red with brembo logo on and cost £19.99. they literally just clip on exsisting calipers. does anyone think these would be tacky?
ebay item number 180513185576 |
Ive heard that they get in the way of the calipers working properly!!!
|
Not my cup of tea, I think if you've got those fat calipers and then a lil' OE brake disk cuddling into it, it'll look rather silly.
I painted the calipers red on my 120, I'll do it on my 180 also at some point. It's nice and subtle, but definately adds to the car. |
Hi, i've posted the same pic before but what the hell. Any excuse. I did mine in red and used white xpower delcals and think they look the dogs danglys. I know clarkson had a bit of a dig about people who paint there calipers red on sundays top gear but **** him. hes a ****.
http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/picture....pictureid=1113 I used big wasa's tip for removing the rust, worked a treat. Spoiler alert, pic heavy http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthre...t=rust+removal |
thanks to all for your input. think i'm gonna go red with white decals, plus ive found some nice red mg badges on ebay. cheers once again:thumbsup:

Shame I was due in a meeting, but I was amused that this thread came up so soon after the Top Gear discussion, and I wondered if anyone would mention it! If you haven't watched it already, have a look on BBC iPlayer. Flippin funny, but then one of the best episodes of TG I think I've ever seen.
