Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Help me to take a decision about which colour to choose in my brake calipers. Red with decal in white: the standard in boxster S Yellow with decal in black: the new style model in 987 and Carrera GT PD: Excuse me for photoshop

POST 2Original post

I'd go with the yellow, it's different from the normal red stock color.

POST 3Original post

If the car is silver, yellow may look out of place, for there is no other trace of yellow on the car. There is red in the Porsche logo (+ P Zero logo) and on the tail lights so it seems like it'd be more fitting in terms of color coordinating. Additionally, yellow will proudly display any brakedust -red being darker will disguise it a little better.

POST 4Original post

I say red because yellow is ceramic and no one will believe you have ceramic brakes, but they might think you upgraded to the big red brakes Porsche uses. My triple black will get red painted calipers one day.

POST 6Original post

are you painting it yourself or are you buying new callipers?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Why to buy new calipers? just painting!....
