Hi i need some help findining any pictures with a white car having yellow caliper brakes. Im getting a new car and debating whether i should put yellow caliper brakes, red, or juss leave them black. the combo is a white car, with shiney gloss black rims.

If anyone knows where to find a white car with yellow caliper brakes plz post a pic so i can get an idea of how it would look like if i got them.

Blue calipers would be a better combo IMO like on the 1 Series Tii concept.

Can't say I love the blue.

You really can't lose with red, but yellow wouldn't be a bad choice either.

I think this is one of the only cars that can get away with yellow painted calipers



Keep it sleeper and leave your calipers unpainted or paint them flat black with no markings IMHO

Hey 335iBaller,

i think it's not an easy choice!
But i would try to get de white ones from Brembo, that would look sick in combination with black wheels and white bodywork!
If white is not an option i would go for the red ones!

White with yellow or red brake calipers would look good.

Can't find the pictures, but yes I think bright yellow calipers would look great on a white BMW.

Perfect analogy. I like the 1 series Tii concept as well. However, I think yellow would be a better combo because the blue will still be hidden by brake dust after a bit of driving. Yellow will still manage to shine through a bit...haha
