Some of the guys on the X5world forum are real sweethearts, i tell you (character assassination is going around a lot these days).

Anyways, don't put on these cheap plastic caps but instead, paint them with caliper paint of your choice. What I'm using on my X5 is Red G2 Caliper Paint w/BMW High temperature brake caliper decals. Here's how I'm hoping mine will look like once it's completed:

Wow! If I felt like that about a board, I would leave it as quickly as I could click a mouse! Only a masochist would want to stay somewhere they didn't feel welcome, right?

Why it's Peruanito again. Please tell us how you would properly modify these brake calipers. I'm sure you're just full of elaborate thoughts and ideas.

This is easy: blue

That way, when people look at you go by they will think that you are going so fast that you've color shifted the red calipers to blue due to the Doppler effect.

Or, you could leave them alone, but that's just me.
