brake caliper covers?

fireman02169 · 11-05-2013, 07:21 AM

Got some nice Beyern 19" wheels for my 09 E90 335i xdrive and now my OEM brake calipers look terrible.... Looking to replace them with something pretty. Not really concerned with increasing performance. My car stops on a dime as it is, just something to make them look nice. anyone know if theres a decent caliper cover out there? or id be game for changing them altogether. thanks

You can paint them a different color but putting calipers is having a tit job not everyone likes them and they look fake

I would paint them black, E9x M3s are black and they look much better than the 335s.

In anticipation of upgrading my brakes to Brembo in the near future. I temporarily bought a set of red caliper covers, to see if I'm going to like the red background inside my wheels. My warranty + the extended one, prevents me from upgrading it yet. The cover looks good though & even the dealership thought it's the real brembos. So, I never bother removing it because my wheel is now big...it looks empty & needs something inside.

This. Gloss black, or silver.
