    I have an 03 Red B6...I want to paint the calipers this weekend, I'm trying to decide on what color to go with.
    Silver, Red, Black, or other let me know your ideas! Any pics would be appreciated of red B6's with painted calipers

    Re: What color to paint calipers?

    I'm probably going to get the G2 Brake Styling kit so I can paint it on without having to worry about removing the calipers themselves, I feel much more comfortable doing it that way

    anything but black or silver on stock brakes is a joke.

    Re: What color to paint calipers?

    black or silver.
    I vote silver w/ the oem brakes.

    Even with larger calipers I don't like the flashy colors. Since your car is red I wouldn't have red brakes (oem or aftermarket). I really don't have good pic's of my B5S4 brakes; they are painted metallic silver w/ drilled rotors...I like how they aren't too flashy( "look at me"), but the drilled rotors give the appearanace of not stock.

    I was going to go with Yellow until I noticed you have stock brakes. Yea, keep them black so people can't mock how undersized they are for the car =D.

    I am getting the rest of the parts together for B7 S4 front brakes. I painted all of the calipers black with the kit that he wants to use. Looks pretty good.

    You would probably need a lowrider style chain steering wheel in gold too
