    Calipers colour choice - white salon ?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Looking to get my brake calipers painted soon and looking for suggestions on colour choice for a white saloon ? Standard small brake callipers on my A3 saloon so unfortunately nothing fancy which is kind of putting me going for a nice bright red colour. Thought about gloss black but not sure it it woukd be worth it as possibly would not even be noticed ?!

    Anyone any pics of there white A3 saloon with red o etc painted calipers?

    Thanks guys

    Personally, I would go gloss black. Do you really want to draw attention to them? Black will also look clean longer.

    I have red on my blue 09 A3, orange on gray 15 A3, lime green on black TT. They all get dirty quickly. I second that black will look clean longer. I just painted the 15 A3 calipers black. Will do the same on the new TT that I'm rebuilding.

    Okay thanks guys I think will take the advice and go gloss black with a nice small red/ white Audi sport decal . As tempting as it is to go for a nice bright yellow the size of the rear caliper on the A3 Just makes it look bad !!

    Great to see others with the white A3 who have painted there’s .
