Well; I've decided to go for it, borrowed some green Hammerite from Alan (bluvrs2) and taken the plunge. I'm 50% through re painting my brake calipers Skoda green instead of the VAG red. So - what you think? Not the best photos as they were taken with my phone

My Mk 1 VRS had green calipers. Always prefered them to the red ones. Also I think they really suit the white colour of the car (like the old Mk 1 Rally edition.

red for me i am afraid as it suits my race blue better

Green all the way

green for me , it looks great against the white!!!!!!

big thumbs up here

red for me i am afraid as it suits my race blue better

I agree to some degree that the red does suit the blue but it was a blue one with green ones that inspired me to get the paint brush out.

I think the green looks great, much better than the default red at least on the pale colours.

The only true path is to be green!

Why bother?

So did the MkII until 2007. My 55plate looks great with green calipers against black paintwork. Much more individualistic.

Because it is the true VRS colour not a me as well colour Will check out my post

Real Reason Green Calipers Dropped on VRS

Oh stuff me, quick phone the garage, I must take my VRS back because it has red calipers, damn, I'll have to have a respray to race blue too as I am sure that is the "true" VRS colour.

OOOOOOhHHH

Now now boys, lets remember that personal choice wins every time. I prefer the green as in my opinion it's more Skoda, there aint nothing wrong with the red ones, I just prefer green.

I did consider a "Why bother?" option but I err... couldn't be bothered

Looks great Will.

Did you take them off to paint ?

However, I totally agree that Skoda should never have ditched the green calipers.

Its a little like Ferrari saying that Rosso Red cars are being ditched for Royal Blue ones!!!

Lol

Looks great Will.

Thanks Chris; I just took the wheels off, masked off what I could and just went for it. I'm no mechanic so wouldn't know where to start in taking them off. And lords knows if I could put them back on. They're not 100% perfect but they're not at all bad

Just for you; above! lol

I was going to quantify it in the "non window licking way" but thought I may cause offense to someone

Well indeed, I just think you're a special kinda guy :p

thats where we differ , i do like the green on a white car but not on the blue , but hey if we all liked he same would it not be boring,

Edit: I even thought about making them white!!
