I am planning to have my brakes refurbed soon. I have a Guards Red C4 and I cannot decide whether to have the calipers finished in red to match the car, or yellow to provde a flashy contrast.

What is your opinion? Vote red or yellow!!

My C2 is white,did mine red with the Porsche lettering stickers,looks great contrast,red/white.
IMO,yellow/red will look great.

I did my slate grey 964 with yellow as is a great contrast.

Go black again - classy without being shouty.

Black is the original color. The red ones could also be ordered back then, so this might also do it. The yellow ones came years later, and I think those would be incorrect to fit, IMO.

Yellow is the colour! :-)

IMO yellow calipers look good if they are big. For the stock calipers I'd go with red or black.

IMHO you can only do black or red. Painting them yellow is trying to make them look like something that was never an option on the 964. At least red calipers we're available on the turbo, so I say go with red.

Keep it original looking and make then red or black.

Here's the thing, for me anyways, Red is too similar to the car colour, and try to match it, or it looks odd. Black is well a bit indifferent, unless on white or silver cars.
If you search, you'll see this has been asked before, and a few pictures have been posted, mine included.
It's all a matter of choice, and what you appear to be saying is that you want others to make your decision, in case its out of flavour.
Well, me, I went for yellow, because I could.

agree - yellow looks good on six potters.

a dark grey or maybe silver?

or black with red "brembo"

Ian, you know how good mine look, get your wallet out and go red. Hope to see you soon, Les.

Unless turbo brakes, paint black...otherwise they look too small....
