    Question Caliper color poll

    Going to have my body shop paint calipers. Car is Ibis white, with carbon blades and Black HRE's. I was thinking of going with the traditional red, but also think white would look nice without the "look at me" red poking through.

    Anyone happen to have pics of either combination, or maybe other options possibly.......

    Re: Caliper color poll

    I've seen pics of a white Gallardo with black wheels and white calipers and I thought it was smashing. Ergo, I am going to vote for white in your poll, though I think yellow or red will also look amazing.

    I have no intention of highjacking your thread, NVRL8R8, but I was about to post my own poll when I found yours so folks, please also weigh-in on my poll in a separate thread I am about to post.

    Would love to see this in white, as I was thinking on doing the same thing.

    I voted for Other although I've never seen an R8 with that colour of calipers.

    Joking aside, I think orange would look very sharp on a white car.

    I think white is purty.

    White caliper looks a little funky behind a BLACK wheel. IMO

    Just came across this pic. Would look better behind a black mesh type wheel......... Hmm?
