Question Brembo caliper colour....?

Right, please don't shoot me down, but I have the opportunity to change the colour of my brembo calipers while they're being refurbished. I'm not sure the S8s suit red callipers (all a bit Mitsi Evo for me...no disrespect Amar..) but what do you guys reckon to yellow (porsche-y) or silver / gunmetal (AMG-y)?

Would you get a Brembo or S8 sticker on them as well?

Just askin' ....

To me it would depend on the colour of the car to some degree, although silver or black will go with most.

...and the wheel design and colour too.
Something discreet: Silver, gunmetal or black. No logos.

Porsche yellow would look awesome against a black car, behind dark wheels. As for logos - either Brembo or S8, with the correct font will work.
