The point is the JCW comes with red calipers on the front and the silver calipers on the rear, since the rears aren't upgraded from the standard S brakes. They just look better matched to the same color IMHO.

If I could afford the Brembo brake kit, they'd be red for sure. Certainly not because of that lame movie series though... hehe.

ooooo those are nice, i'm envious!

Nice.

....noooooot necessarily, Dan! I had to paint my (JCW) calipers red - but I highly agree with you. Even if only the front ones were red and the back were silver, I would've painted them to match the front. Im extremely happy with the way that mine look now. And likewise, it has nothing to do with the movie.


Marcus - your car looks hawt!

so why not paint the red ones silver, to match the other silver ones? Red looks tacky. I even painted the ones on my old TT black so they would not show up. My only point is why would someone buy a car as nice as a MINI and put bodykits, shopping cart wings, cheapo wheels, and painted calipers? Just putting out an example, not talking about the OP's car.

sure...

It's called You-ifying it.

speaking of such, i wanna do red calipers on mine

Can we have a red caliper painting party one of these days? I've needed to do it for 2 yrs now!

BTW Marcus, I LOVE them!!

Me Likey those wheels. I thought this was about wheels not brake calipers.
