disc bells...what colour
Hi all
I would appreciate your opinions on the above topic please if you have the time. Ive had my brakes on now for about 1000 miles and am happy with the way they perform.....but im considering changing the way they appear through the wheel.
I currently have gold anodised disc bells ( piccy below ) and im not sure they go well with the red.....so im stuck between leaving them gold or doing them one of the following colours over the winter months....
1. Red (body colour with the nuts polished up)
2. Wheel silver ( but would i lose the bells in the wheel with there being too much silver????)
3. Black ( Gloss or satin with the nuts polished up )
4. Left alone
5. Chromed ( would this look too much with the black APs?????)
In the brackets above are my thought on each option but its your opinions I value massively guys as you know what will look good and will quite frankly not!!!!!.
Many thanks for your time.

i think red would go with yr car better than gold,you would have to do the writing on the calipers red aswell though
ive got chrome/polished on mine and it does look nice but you cant clean and polish them properly with the wheels on so im forever taking the wheels off every 5 minutes!!
looks good though...
