Can anyone advise me on improving the visuals of the calipers. Is the only way to fork out lots of ££££ on the 'Bid Reds'or is there an alternative option.
Could anyone suggest a supplier for what I need. Thanks.

You could paint the ones you have.

Wouldn't be my choice, but, if you want red calipers ...

Didn't you know if you paint your calipers red they brake you better

Bit like the louder your exhaust the more power it creates!

If they are newish and clean it`s possible to make a good job and save a tidy bundle...

Yep, you ca paint them yourself and have "little reds". You can buy the Porsche decals on ebay (although the place I ordered them from hasn't delivered but I won't name and shame just yet). There are lots of DIY postings on rennlist and a section on p-car.com.

I've seen them paited yellow. Looks good on some cars.

You can send them to me and I can powder coat them for you. Some of the later type Porsche calipers are nylon coated I have no idea what yours are. Send me a pm if you are interested. cheers Graeme

I had mine professionally painted red with white decals (not cheap though. The guys at Daytona, Stevenage, did a brilliant job- just like genuine porsche reds, I kid you not.
