Hmmm, not sure TBH. I like red calipers on decent sized brakes, but that just screams 'look at my standard tiny brakes'.

Sorry

Yup agreed

They look pretty good, a bit small, but better than not painted. What ever you do don't paint the drums though. Painted drums always make a me chuckle

Lol, I bought some yellow hammerite paint for my my 306 DTurbo, never got round to doing it though!

Do NOT paint your drums!! If you're wanting to paint something, get those black bits sprayed up!!

I think it looks quite smart - helps that your car is red too

I'd leave the rest alone.

You realise it won't increase your braking power yeah?

i think they look pretty good.

next up is to get the black bits done. (after my court thing is over)

for now though.... i was thinking of tidying up the engine bay, getting the surface rust off and making it all sparkly again. i know that know one will be it. but just thought it might be a good idea.

maybe it will be a waste of time

Have you considered colour coding the bump strips? Maybe the door handles too?

agreed, in the process of doing this on my pre-colour-coding version 306. Takes a bit of time to get used to how the paint bonds on the plastic but the finish is great if you have the patience for it.

painted drums > rusty drums

Just do them in something subtleish, black, or maybe silver..

That would look ming.

geiger · 9 Apr 2006 at 20:06

Looks good, I'd just leave it like that. Unless painting the drums/calipers has a practical purpose

Firestar_3x · 9 Apr 2006 at 20:07

If your rear drums have rusted brush them down and paint black, otherwise leave well alone.

quackers · 9 Apr 2006 at 20:23

Looks good mate, i was thinking of doing the same thing? Did you take them off and paint them?
