Default Mellow yellow pt II the calipers

Well, the offside is now complete, Christers old calipers on the rear, new brake lines, new disks, new nickel copper brake lines, and of course painted calipers.


Is Yellow the new red? You bet it is.


Kevin.

my wife calls it McDonalds colors with Red/yellow together. I'd vote now with that color combo. Possibly on black, but that stretches it a bit too.

Kevin,

Yes, I like the yellow (not biased of course). I think red would be too much on your car.

Regards

Dave

New wheels, wonder what gave you that idea

Yes Dave I painted them myself, Foliatec paint, damn nuisance though it isn't the best I've worked with, too diluted to start off with covering black, then too stiff to paint as it goes off after 5 mins.....still


Marc, yes they should point that way, an Item I overlooked..... ;-)

Christer, yeah I'm still not sure, although I thought too much Red would look overkill, that's why I chose Yellow.


McDonalds........Now I'm lost for words.....still that's in itself a change...

Hmmmm... I need to paint my calipers. Right now I have big reds in front and a black 4 piston setup in the rear. I need to do something with them since they don't match. I was thinking about painting the rears red... But I have a red car. I was thinking about yellow.... After seeing the pictures... I'm still not sure! I was kinda leaning toward the yellow... But I don't want people to think Ronald McDonald is driving it!

What's wrong with the wheels? And the yellow is good. I'm thinking it would look very good on my black-everywhere-else coupe. Hm.

I have to admit, I think on a silver or black car they'd look sharp but - on red - I'm not so sure.

As long as you like them, ignore the references to the "Golden Arches"
