Help! Nimbus, tan interior, non-black wheels: Black, Red, Silver or Yellow Calipers

luciddaydream · Aug 21, 2023

Ugh I cannot decide on the caliper colors. I kind of want the car a bit understated.. but I feel no color might be bland and kind of generic looking. But perhaps its so stunning in person that is not gonna be an issue?

I like red more than yellow. Does Red go with the tan interior with nimbus?

...I'm happy with this combination...check out some of my images perhaps particularly in my posts under "EM13RA'S diary" for a load of photos

That's my spec. I went with black. They are brake calipers and stay dirty most of the time (at least on my cars).

Damn that looks pretty slick

two real world example...one when the callipers are cleaned, the other when they're not...tend to agree with karl20c in that the red does very much dull with a few hundred miles of driving, but I think the nimbus, tan, red callipers combination works well.

Has anyone ever ordered Silver Calipers?

I could go with Red, Yellow or Black for this spec, but not Silver.....

I was all in with Black for quite some time as I thought I didn’t want to distract from the wheels. I put the order in for Yellow though after giving it some more thought (and asking the wife’s opine). Unlike my previous TT RS, these calipers are a bit larger (particularly the rears) and I think they stand out nicely and compliment the Tan interior, and match the center caps.

Black is more discreet though if that’s the look you are going for.

This is one of @Citizen's photos that I think clearly answers your question (and happens to be my exact spec):
