I did a quick photoshop job, want opinions on what color to paint the calipers....My C4 has silver calipers, now they blend in with the rotors....

I'd keep them silver and use the money for something else. Pretty unique in my opinion and different than the usual black/red/yellow.

Yellow is the best except for the Speed Yellow Cars. Speed Yellow Cars go with red.
