EUROWERKZ | BIG Things Coming - Thank You Sam@WP Pro
First off, I'd like to start by giving a huge thank you to Sam @ WP Pro for this opportunity.
Also, thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! Today, UPS rang my doorbell and dropped off two 65-lb boxes. Inside sat a new WP Pro BBK setup as follows: Front: 8 pot calipers 360 x 30 x 46 mm rotors Rear: 6 pot calipers 360 x 30 x 46 mm rotors Stainless steel brake lines, brackets, and sport brake pads. They look great and they really are gigantic! Wow.      I am pretty set on the decision that I am going to get them repainted silver and do the lettering in black. What do you guys think? My main concern is just that i don't know how a red BBK would look with the rest of my car since the whole thing is silver and black themed... I am just afraid of having them look out of place if they are red or ruin the cleanliness of the car.  Last edited by xPhantom; 10-21-2009 at 01:24 AM. |

Leave them bro. I thought the same thing with red not matching green... but BBK always looks good in red. Try it out, if you don't like it then change it up next season.
Have you investigated wheel clearance yet? I'm scared about it... |

Repainting them isn't too tough of a job. It's just the fact that they'd have to be removed again, but that isn't too big of a deal I guess. As for wheel clearance, Sam said that these were designed to clear the stock 18" M3 wheels... so he said I should have no problem. |

I dealt with the same red or silver dilemma... I decided to go TiAG with black logos. Here's a pic, incase it helps you make up your mind. (ignore the rusty rotor, the pic was taken right after I washed the car)
Congratulations on the brakes, btw. They are beautiful!

TiAg with black logos looks sick! I am 99% sure I will be doing that. Thanks man!
Would you happen to have any side profile pictures of your car with the brakes? |

Dude, shockingly, I don't! I'd take some for you, but the car is in pieces in the garage at the moment.

I would paint them black if I was you. It would contrast from the rotors rather than blend with them.

Yesssss! I'm so glad you didn't choose something else to change other than brakes. I hope they fit with out a hitch.
 Your car will be near complete imo after they're installed. |
