I'm thinking orange callipers, although the lime green is tempting mike

Euan, your getting locked in the back of a defender again for that!
I'm thinking orange or green as well. I also knew about the calipers as I've been getting bombarded with questions about them...
Have to be bright coloured. Need to stand out.

Update time
It's been a busy time so hadn't got round fitting my big brake upgrade. Also found a leak in my air con condenser, so I start by replacing that on Sunday night.
Yesterday I started by stripping all of the front down, I knew that my pads were pad but I got a little surprise when I seen this.

Then when on to fit the new discs to the front, I went for mtec discs with drilled and grooved added.

Now for the main event, my brembo callipers, fitted on no problem at all and I really like the colour. Unfortunately I have lost the stickers that I had order so they have to be fitted at a later date.

Next it was onto the back, I choose to upgrade to v8 rears, new carriers supplied by Steve at advanced factors and again mtec brake discs.

I am chuffed with the look of them and hoping that I will feel a big improvement once I have them properly bed in.
