For a blue ch-r, What do you think? Blue or Red calipers? (yeah i love colorful calipers).

 

[Garry]

Well my red accents get a lot of attention. Red Callipers might be cool 😎

 

[eternity575]

i know... i'm 50-50 on deciding.. red or blue... garry you have the blue one with red accents? pic?

 

[Garry]

Blue car with Red Accents. if it wasn't a company car you might have me contemplating Red Calipers

Garry, I'm surprised the company didn't go for the Red wheel caps as well!?

 

[MarkyMUK]

It's got to be lambo yellow for the calipers with that colour combo!? :lol:

 

[ans]

i know what you mean ,i have got red calipers on the merc that i did myself quite easily but i dont know what Toyota would think if i got my spray can out

 

[MarkyMUK]

If it's actually your car (not company, PCP or motability) then they cant say anything! :shock:

I think they would have had to change the wheels for that - probably too much of an expense.

Also apologies I thought I had put the link to my picture in the post above they are in this post http://www.chrforums.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=193&start=30#p1964

I have a dynamic in nebula blue with Matt black 18 inch wheels. I have the blue cross style hub caps. I think they look great but have to agree they would look much better if the callipers were coloured

ok..photoshopped it...
i go towards the red, but it's so common what do you guys think?

 

[MarkyMUK]

I think you've given it an extra 5rwbhp with the red! :shock:

 

[eternity575]

lol... i'll take 5 more liters in the tank
i just hate "bare" calipers...

So a Noob question here.. how hard is it to paint them?

That's right.

Here in Australia, we can order the caps on the Koba/Dynamic wheels, $22.20 each! They've alsp called the wheel design, Dynamic. A nod to you guys, no doubt

In my old yaris TSport, i used hammerite, took off one wheel, painted the caliper with a fine brush and repeat thats all. they lasted for 3 years without any problems.
only thing you need to do is not let it get wet when it's drying and at least 12 hours without driving.

 

[MerlyWerly]

Sounds simple enough

My vote is for Red
