I'm looking at this car and am considering having the dealer paint the calipers for me and I'm curious what color you've seen that looks good and which colors look not so good. My initial thoughts are red or yellow with black lettering.

Please let me know what you think - what color caliper and what color lettering.

Thanks!

my first choice would be silver but you might not like that so my second choice is red. i dont think yellow suits the color, which i like alot.

I would go silver or red too. Silver will blend and match and red will contrast. Depends on which look you're going for. Nice murci btw!!:headbang:

You could go with black calipers. This would match the interior and give a color theme of silver & black. Just my 2c

like the idea of red the best with yellow close behind

Orange. Plain and simple. But, considering that it's not one of your choice, I would say red. :grinning-smiley-003

I'm not feeling yellow on that car either, just say no! :) Get the wheels powder coated instead, black, with calipers silver.

I would go for yellow, but def not a bright sunflower shade. You would need a lighter shade like the VW in this pic. MAybe someone could photoshop a couple of examples for you.

Thanks for all the input guys. I've decided to go for red. It was a tough choice but for me it adds a nice splash of color but not too much and I think it will look sharp against the silver.

Again, I appreciate your efforts.

IT depends on what you do with the wheels...I'm not a big fan of the factory Murcie wheels...but if you go with a chrome or polished wheel, definately go red calipers...get the Lamborghini insignia done is SILVER on the caliper to match the car...it will be subtle enough and still be there. If you end up with a black center in the wheel and chrome/polished lip, would look SICK.

I think I know that car too. Very clean.
