Just doing a quick poll...

Im having my calipers repainted at 9miester: http://www.9mracing.co.uk/html/

Thinking of having them yellow or red.

The car is a 996 silver GT3 'lookalike' [;)]

thanks

 
I was going to say "keep it real" i.e. paint them the colour Porsche intended, but then I noticed "GT3 'lookalike" so why not go for the GT3 colour, which I think could be either red, or yellow depending on age.


 
Wondering how much they are charging you?
When I ordered my turbo cab (delivered in May 04) I asked if I could have yellow calipers instead of the standard red (thought yellow would look better against solid black) - 'of course' said the nice Porsche man and then told me the cost would be £1850.

I rather like the red ones now...[:)]
 
Well mine are painted yellow and they look quite good. This is on my 964 with big reds

Actually I am getting mine professionally repainted at 9miester.

They charge £250 for all 4 and you can have any colour. They also do a special coating of something so that it looks very professional.

I think I am leaning towards yellow.

Reason I am doing it is because my car is being repaired [:(] at Selbys (Porsche approved accident repair in Nottingham) and the suspension is being taken off and replaced along with a few other parts [:(]

What happened Vorland?

Chucking in my two pennies worth about the calipers, on your nice silver car I'd have the standard C4 caliper colour ......silver!

Yeah. It has a crashed 04 plate Cayanne Turbo for company at the moment...


They also have got a virtually new yellow GT3 that had a crash on a track day with a new body shell - so far costing insurance company £50 grand!!!!!!


 
you can have any colour

Be different, stand out from the crowd and have green. It will be unique and you can tell everyone you are running a top secret experimental setup. Tell them you work for a brake manufacturer and you are performing an evaluation.
You could start a trend [;)]
 
Halfords do the Caliper paint in red, yellow and blue at about £20. It does what it says on the tin or you could spend £1850 changing them. I have red on the left and yellow on the right side. [:)]

I suppose if you put it on a boxster at least you will know which way round it is parked!!

That pic was taken on what was probably one of the best weekends of my life. Reims, Spa, Nurburgring in 2 days.

We're all going again end of March.
