A professional valet and original look (ie not tarty painted calipers & lexarse lights etc...) will get you the cost of the valet plus a good whack back on resale.

As a rule of thumb (though this doesn't apply to extremly modified cars necessarily), you can knock off anything you spend on mods from the cars value.

Black or not at all.

I agree with the majority in not painting them. I considered painting my calipers green, but then I took a step back and thought "it's not a vRS, so don't try and make it look like one".

If it was a vRS, I'd be repainting them another colour as well - I 'ate green!

I think you should paint them in the metalliccy looking silver or gold colours - looks like metal then but freshens them up a lot. Just done my mates Ibiza FR calipers in silver and they look spot on.

Brakes are staying as they are as i have decided to sell the alloys seperatly to the car and return it to standard with the old steelies.

Thank you everyone for your views etc.
