Default Silver Brembos with FM10's: Photos?

I'm planning a Brembo big brake kit upgrade in the next few weeks and am debating whether to order the kits with Brembo's optional silver calipers.

Does anyone by chance have any photos of silver calipers (Brembo or Porsche/Brembo) used with Fikse FM10 wheels?

Thanks,
Tim

I think you might have better luck on the 996 board since the C4's come with silver calipers.

Scott Mellor on this board runs that combo on his polar silver TT. Very classy, but I like the red color accent as well. He is photo challenged... I'll have to look through my photos and see if I have one of his car.

What color is your car? That may also be a factor in determining how it will look.

Thanks Steve. Let me know if you track down a photo of Scott's car.

The car is Arctic Silver, and the FM10's have the satin anodized finish.

Tim,

I've searched but found nothing of interest. Send a PM or email to Scott, and see if he has one that isn't that old fashioned film stuff.

Sorry.

I know this is not exactly what you are looking for but it is a car with silver calipers and the wheels are kind of like what you have.

Hope this helps!

Thats it! A little more understated than red, which is what I'm looking for.

Beautiful car, Scott.

Thanks again to all for the input.

Scott -

Love the look, especially the kid seat in the rear!

Thanks !

That is one of the reasons I sold the NSX.......
Pop kid seat out.
Pop harness bar in.
Attach harnesses.
Go to track.

Actually I AM digitally challanged. That is an overexposed film picture that I scanned in.
Sigh.

Off track a bit but...

Scott,
Is that a Britax booster seat in back? I have one and the base is too wide for the Porsche in back and has to sit at an angle or stick out a bit. How did you make yours fit?

I put a folded towel under it. Not the best solution.
