Carlylove Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have seen a few Lotus with yellow brakes and think it looks good. Has anyone done this themselves and what is best to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done this themselves and what is best to use? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have done mine:- There are more pics in my earlier thread. I used Hammerite Smooth Finish. Make sure you clean the calipers before painting them or they will look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-n Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 silver or black looks good, not sure about the yellow....... seems a little boy racer ish if you ask me, not sure what anyone else thinks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not go for red cos that says I want a Ferrari (not that I don't) but the yellow looks good as yellow & green are the Lotus colours anyway.

PeterField Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Mine were already yellow when I bought the car, gotta be honest I didn't realise that a previous owner had done it and not the factory seeing as the car's yellow anyway. Anyhow, I like 'em on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
