    I would like to know your opinion. What looks better on red 360 with polished wheels? I have currently black calipers but would like to repaint them. Just dont know if red or yellow. I love yellow calipers on black,silver,yellow cars but not sure how will look on red one.

    Red, although the yellow is not that bad. I have a yellow 360 with red calipers and for sure it looks SWEEEEEEET!

    Keep your black rotors.Now the focus will be on your wheels without the red/yellow distraction.

    I'm confused too for my up-coming Scud, going Rosso Corsa, but concerning the calipers, I find red on red is too common. I think yellow CAL with grey wheels on R.Corsa would look great.
    Any thoughts / comments are really appreciated.

    YELLOW!!! Red is TOO MUCH red, the yellow ties in beautifully with the center cap on the wheels and the shields (if you have them).

    Tony, I think Hazy's going for what accentuates the look of the CAL by contrasting the colors... Yellow for his red spider and red for his Yellow Strad... If I got the point...
    BTW what's your say for my Scud??

    Looks like red is prefered by most of you, althought yellow fans are here as well. I am stiill not sure 100% but propably will go for red. Red seems to me better but together with red car, there is no contrast. Yellow will make great contrast with shields (btw just received them from Ricambi and going to install them today) and centers but i am realy afraid of Mc Donald`s look as was mentioned here in begining.....

    his strad's rosso corsa :D as for your scud, the yellow/grey might work especially as calipers are so big . i would need to see yellow with rosso corsa 1st before deciding tho
