Red or yellow BREMBO calliper?

Mine are black so need to stand out some more. Was hooked on yellow but have swung back to red which I guess is a safer colour

Thoughts or photos? 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

How about natural caliper grey? You'll stand out then because everyone else with "make it all black" RRSs have coloured calipers. Whistle Thumbs Up

Otherwise, go with what you like not what other people like. It's your vehicle, if you like the yellow, go with it. "Safe choice" be damned! Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

The problem for me with painted calipers is that, in combination with 22in rims and rubber band tyres, it makes the brakes look tiny. Reminds me of lads with Saxos and "big wheels" but tea saucer discs. Rolling with laughter

I know the RRSs discs are a decent size but with a big gap between disc and rim, they look small. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

^^^^ As he said! I just cannot understand why anyone would want to highlight a boring component like brake calipers. I just do not get why folks want to make a classy vehicle like a Range Rover look like a 17 year olds Focus Big Cry

My S/C Autobiography came from the factory as standard with red calipers, it was a no cost option to have unpainted ones. Thumbs Up

I'm not quite sure what your getting at, yes my RRS is red, exactly as it left the factory. I couldn't even tell you the colour of my calipers but I'd expect a dirty rusty colour, but as they're pretty much hidden then what odd's does it make as the colour doesn't improve the performance?

Maybe I should hang a furry dice from the mirror, it's a pity I don't have a bee sting aerial so I could attach a golf ball to the end then pretend I'm 17 again Rolling with laughter 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine
