Hey Everyone

I have decided that since i have the black bumpers on my corsa already, i'm going to stick with the black/white theme.

And now with the Lekka ALine black rims, i was thinking of spraying my calipers white. Some of my buddies suggessted red as well, but i dont know??? :mzekezeke:

What do you guys think, color wise for the calipers? Check my sig for corsa pics.

Cheers

:flash:

Red is popular, blue is the OPC's colour, I have seen gold as well.

Ok kwaai.

I'm going to give red a go :correct:

Can I buy the paint anywhere here in cape town, or is autostyle the only option?

Thanks guys.

Red and blue is illegal, only emergency vehicles are allowed to use red and police vehicles blue. :duim:

blue is illegal but if your headlight bulbs can 'overshadow' your blue parks, it can be 'disguised' somewhat :D
