Hi all,

I am considering painting my brake calipers on my 1988 911 carrera Targa. The car is red, I was thinking of yellow calipers (my favourite colour), I did it before on a red Celica and it did look nice.
BUT!!!! this car is a classic, and it is as it come out of the factory, so do I mess with it, or do I leave as original as possible.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'd do them what ever colour you fancy TBH. Yellow would be good or maybe a grey or gold? If you get recon ones they'll be goldie coloured anyway.

I painted mine red and it does look better, yellow would work too.

Cheers,
Iain
