Macau Blue & Fire Orange

ONEof500 · 10-20-2021, 09:01 PM

I have a 30 Jahre (pic for attention) and want to make the calipers pop. I think the blue calipers get lost with the Macau blue color.

What say you on fire orange?

Pic for attention

Fire orange would be very nice. I bet traditional Brembo red would look nice with that color, possibly a little more subtle than the orange.

Sharp ride! Fire Orange would certainly pop! I did mine in a sort of Speed Yellow and I’m happy with the results (dirty in the pic).

+1 for yellow - maybe go with the factory yellow gold CCB color.

There are also OEM M Performance brake calipers in red, yellow and orange. Don't know the paint codes

That actually looks like fire orange. Anybody know where to find details on these?

I had a similar thought as well but was thinking more about the Orange that is used on the accents of the M4 GTS.
Not sure of the paint code.

i'd go yellow or gold

but i'd be cautious if you care about resale value. if you feel the jahre is a special car or commands a premium over the regular model.. then someone else who feels the same might not like the fact you've modified it.

Money is no object option - install OEM CCBs and keep the original brakes in the boxes. Bling, performance, easy to keep wheels clean, reverse-able but why would you and still fully stock+.

I’d do black. But that’s just me.

kerkiraios00 · 10-22-2021, 07:34 PM

I'd do gold like the ccb

Yeah that's my hesitation but the Jahre calipers are just standard m performance blue. They could be easily changed back but I def hear you.

I believe that it was called Acid Orange.
