It didn't take more than 4 weeks for rust to show on the wheel hubs and callipers. 

As with all my cars I will paint those with Foliatec paint as I hate to look at rust coming through from behind my shiny alloys.

 

I have chosen two colours :

 

metallic gold and metallic carbon grey.

 

Gold goes on the caliper and carbon grey on the hubs. Will start posting the pictures next weekend.

 

Anyone else planning doing the same?

 

Have been doing it for years.

 

Just say no to the gold calipers though.  Satin black or wheel colour for me thanks. (I don't even like the factory red that VW/ Skoda use)

I'm thinking Skoda green for the calipers.

I would say no to gold on the calipers though. It's a bit 90s/00s JDM   Skoda green might work, depending on the wheel and paint combo. For me it would be a silver colour. 

Black.. never looks dirty .

Another no for the gold here.

 

Silver, black or the carbon grey is OK though.

LOL, 

 

Wow, never thought to hear so many No's to the gold. I agree the Skoda's Red is a no go. Everyone is going for red - BMW, Audi etc owners. I always liked the look of Gold Brembo callipers on Subaru Impreza WRC.

At the same time my previous Superb callipers were in Skodas' green and looked great. But it was in Cappuccino Beige. Now with Jungle Green the gold seems the only good choice plus carbon grey drums.

Lets see how it goes folks and then we all judge. Till my next post. 

Impreza WRC has monobloc, multipiston calipers.  They look good in themselves as a functional piece of engineering design and Subabru are trying to draw your attention to them to show they have fitted premium brakes. 

 

Our cars have single piston, slider calipers which are functional but not pretty.  Maybe Gold with a black cover plate as fitted to the Passat R36 or Golf R32?

Nowt wrong with gold on a black car

 

All down to personal preference really, follow your heart, not the herd
