edit: ignore the no cupra lip. it broke off the 3rd day i had it on. wasnt used to being so low, parked to close to one of those parking stumps in a parking lot. needs to be repainted and mounted again lol

In my opinion... The color of the calipers clashes with the color scheme of the rest of the car.

Maybe mount some Parktronic sensors in the lip [:D]

agree....... photoshop time!!!!! [wrench]

I think it looks nice, IMO if you had got the color to match the car exactly the calipers would not have been that noticable. Just my $0.02.

It's a clean looking setup. Color offsets the calipers well.

Stickers, eh? Heat proof stickers?

they wont burn off, i have decals on my brakes as well, looks good man, thank god! you didn't paint them red! what brakes are they?

[audirs]

thx guys, they are high temp vinyl. from my understanding when the surface gets hot, it sticks even better. i am a bit disappointed myself aswell with the colour the calipers came out. they were a perfect match before powder coating on paper, but turned really light after they did it. i can honestly say though when the calipers get dirty, it looks a ton better. i had to clean the surface area to apply the vinyl so it would stick proper.

frank, they are stoptech st-60 calipers

I like it, im thinking about doing mine tomorrow, where did you get the decals from?

i emailed Rich about getting some custom stuff done and he had no problem working with me for a few days. i had no problems dealing with him at all, great dude.

[cbock]

i like the idea. too bad the color didn't come out the way you wanted it. seems like it'll be a lot of work to keep them clean.

[oc-drop]

doesn't matter what decals you put on stoptechs... =)

[HOFFY11]

shoulda painted them black and white writing =/ white is random on your car..good idea though

[Stampy]

I think the white looks good. As mentioned before....thank god they aren't red like everyone else in the world.

[asm72ecko]

well what do you guys think...should i paint mine black or red? My car is black

[blkrhyno]

I painted mine black, didn't want to be like everyone else.

Hello, this will be my first post lol. If I can get my camera to work, I should be able to get some photos of my car up sometime this week.

Your car looks great, here’s what I would do if it were my car, hope you don’t mind. [:D]

Mod’s :

Blacked out chrome, (under head light around the windows etc.)

Removed side molding

Painted calipers to match body color

Painted wheel spokes black

Smoked turn signal indicator

nice man! u dont know how long i wanted to see how the car would look with no side door molding! thx! the blacking of the chrome is a for sure, just need to make time to do it.

i tried to make the calipers match the colour of the body, but it didnt turn out so well [:(] . ill prolly get em re-done one day, but i cant justify it yet.


i really like how it looks with no door moldings, what do you guys think? looks a bit awkward at first, but the more u look at it, the better the lines flow imo. especially since i intend to do an r6/widebody in the near future. i think it would look sick

The brakes look very clean. I like the color of them. They would get lost in the car if they matched. Having the calipers lighter in my opinion looks tight as hell[cool]. Agree about not painting them red[o_o]. Decals look good. [up]

[Limen]

Yes sir, I like. Great job!

[audirs]

thx! [:D]

most friends wanted to paint mine red. but got mine painted the car color. black. with white decals also bought from Rich at xenonmods. he even had my old a4 pics with the calipers on his site.
