Yellow will bring out the big calipers nicely.

I used to have black, decided to paint them myself. Took 4 hrs. time and bought decals from Ebay. I am thinking order "Carrera" or "911" to replace my "Porsche".

I would paint them Red to match the S Brakes, painting them yellow is the second choice.

I like yellow with your exterior color. As long as you go yellow or red, it will look great, but i think yellow is less common.

+1 Orange would look sick! If I were to take the time to have mine professionally painted I'd get an individual color for sure

Came in here to say Orange. Nice to see some others have suggested it as well. Yellow looks great but its kind of like false advertising that you have PCCB. Orange will also look great but be more unique.

I am not sure the Orange would go with the Seal Grey. Might look a little odd. I know Red and Yellow are the standard colors but Orange may stick out as odd. Hmmm...not sure. Anyone have pictures of Orange on a Seal Grey?
