    Ok chaps, I'm putting my 996 monoblocks on this week. These are the black ones.
    Now, I've got the standard Avus 6 spoke 16" wheels and you can't really see the calipers behind them.
    So, would they look daft in red ? or maybe silver ? considering my car is purple ?
    I've put a poll in this topic to see what you guys think. Hopefully this will help me make my mind up
    44
    Keep them black, for the stealthy look ?
    79.55%
    35
    Paint them red ?, the RS2 had red with all the various colours in came in.
    11.36%
    5
    Paint them silver, just to be different ?
    9.09%
    4
    Paint them another colour altogether ?
    0.00%

              Most certainly black, stealth is best at all times. You don't want to attract any unwanted attention from any undesirable street urchins (neds/chavs).

                  I'm with the dark side - a good S2 is all about Stealth. As noted above, the less you can attract the attentions of the evil chav brigade the better.

                        Black... besides painting them properly is expensive, they would never come out proper Porsche Red.

                          There's always a couple isn't there !

                          Thanks for the replies guys, looks like the general opinion is for keeping them black.
                          So thats the way I will go, easier too

                            i said silver,but you could paint them the same as the coler of the car.

                              Let me have them back if you want to paint them a different colour. I have scabby silver ones which would be ideal for the treatment.
