Red, yellow will show the brake dust up more, then look dirty over time unless you take your wheels off regular and clean your calipers, because you won't be able to get between the spokes of the tigers to do it, good choice of wheels by the way

Did they say why? Have you asked those who are supplying your wheels if they will work?

I spent last weekend painting my friends RRS calipers red and he is just about to put autobiography alloys on his S (so doesn't have brembo's) and in my opinion they looked tip top.

See here:-

Before someone calls me, I know theres loads of over spray on the disks all off now though.

Decided to do suspension arms ... and anything else that look rusty.

Would look great with bid Brembo's

They said the part is machined into the wheel......

4x4 tyres (where Im buying from) seem to think they will work but I am inclined to take the dealers word for it......

last thing I want on a new car is a permanent error light

Jonny only my view but think the tigers look a bit dated now, personally I would go for the Super Sports with yellow calipers.

i think he is referring to the recent announcement that they can't get the ingredients for the paint for the car and have scrapped 15 colours due to the location of the production plant in Japan

see Tims thread
