Fashion faux pas: black suit with brown shoes

m981addicts · 02-15-2016, 10:59 AM

Any LBB buyers planning to repaint calipers to match/constrast the pair? The two different hues hurt my eyes.

gmzanatta · 02-15-2016, 11:07 AM

Considering it...not sure on color yet, but leaning towards yellow.

jasonheaddinG · 02-15-2016, 11:23 AM

if I were to go with any of the m-perf options it would also be yellow.

the different shade of blue does not bother me but I haven't seen it IRL yet either...

Leaving it as it is for now... I have loads of other stuff to deal with first

Nope. Functional brakes are functional.

Nope.

I'm just happy they won't be rusting. Could care less what color they are, but if I had to pick, silver would have looked nice.

I might go see a good body shop and see if I can get them to do gold.

m981addicts · 02-15-2016, 04:58 PM

I would go with black.

Or one of these (see

) ?

Gold would be hot! Stripe it with BMW Motor sport colors of german flag colors.

Either Stock or attempting to duplicate the CCB gold color, which would look perfect with LBB.

Funny I have always thought that if I equipped the BMW CCB brake option I'd consider reprinting the calipers as part of the cost of admission. I hate that gold color. I'd change that within days of ownership.
For each his own though!

I saw the LBB M2 irl in Brussels.

Best colour for brakecalipers is

Opium
Clear
Daffodil

Cheers
