Calipers on my 182?
upgrading my brakes to brembo hc discs and ferodo pads. Thought i may as well spruce them up. I was thinking just hammerite smooth gold? For that subtle factory fresh look but worried it may clash.
It will be hard to see them anyway as my spokes are chunky but id like to give it a shot?
Suggestions!

Red might work well with the yellow?

Red looks ok on the Meganes that are ly.
Silver is an option, yellow might be a tad much

Saw one of the old megane rs 6 a few days ago at the dealership
I must say its the only megane i like
Silver still stands out enough but not in your face, thats what i chose.

No point dude, standard setup is really good and its not a track car. Just getting uprated pads and discs.
red looks ok. But kind of too bold?!
Silver is deffo winning so far.

Usually love gold, but it'll probably clash with your colour of car. Another vote for boring silver or black here

Thats all thats needed on most newer cars tbh. I done the exact same to my old Ibiza Cupra, and it stopped amazingly well. Had the discs glowing and still never suffered brake fade.
Silver just looks abit meh. Just nothing and boring. I still go for red.
