My 2013 2.7 Boxster in Platinum grey has the standard black/grey calipers. With freshly refurbed 20" wheels they look a bit meh.

I plan to change the colour using BCS, and I was planning on yellow - no, no I dont want to appear to have ceramics, I just like grey cars with yellow calipers, usually look great imo................car has yellow accents inside including belts.

However every non-ceramic equipped Porsche I look at pictures of online with yellow calipers, they don't look right, all a bit DIY/aftermarket.

The other option is red like the S models, cant go wrong with that?

Any thoughts welcome (except buy a Boxster S, buy ceramics, cant afford a proper car peasant etc etc wink)

Bcs porsche yellow is nearly identical to the Porsche pccb yellow, a little bit richer if anything, only problem is it will show up how small your calipers are more, wouldn’t be too concerned about that though.

Most look rubbish as it’s more than likely hammerite or Halfords yellow caliper paint which both look terrible

How much do BCS charge for this? Are you just sending in the calipers?

I was quoted £367 for all 4, yes you send the calipers to them

I managed to source a nice set of calipers for sensible money on eBay to make it a tad less inconvenient :-)

Theses would have you half way there with pads and discs, seems they are done with the BCS paint as well.

Very nice! Are the Porsche logos stencilled or stickers?
