Anyway, I ordered some red caliper paint from Foliatech. Hopefully will be putting it on this weekend! I was tempted to go blue.. but I'm worried that it will make me look like an M-performance brake wannabee haha. And I like the red.
The gaps in my spokes are fairly large, so you can see the nasty ass black/brown standard caliper. Will look nicer with a bit of colour.

I just got a quote from a local guy to liquid wrap my car. He quoted R8500 roughly for the entire thing. Not too bad! And he says they do any colour under the Dulux colour chart. However, all of their finishes are in Matte for some reason. He mentioned something about a gloss overcoat to make the Matte as gloss as possible, but its never full gloss.
Some thinking to do!

I think your car looks great in the white it is in.
If I was you, I would spend the R8k on a M performance styling kit, and make the kit gloss black.

Yeah the white is nice, but the other day my girlfriend put a slight knick in the bumper paint (lets not go there...) And I couldn't help but feel that if it was wraped, it would be a very inexpensive fix. but I know do get the thing repainted will cost a lot. (although touch up paint would be fine in this case.. very small almost unnoticeable damage) But who knows what could happen.
That and exotic colors look awesome.
As far as the M performance pack.. I think its a lot more expensive than R8k? Does it come as one pack, or does one get the things separately? I was just going to get non OEM parts from CF Accessories instead.
Also, opinions guys... I've got some gloss-red brake caliper paint on the way, but I'm not sure if I should even put it on. I have no plans on getting M-performance brakes, and I love the look of coloured calipers (especially red) but the LAST thing I want to do is cheapen the look of the car. Should I just avoid it all together?

Ah I hear you, to protect the paint will also protect your price, come sell time.
To be honest, I have no idea what the kit cost. I know a lot of guys bought kits from Mo at Auto Accessorize and from Steven, cant remember his shops name now.

There's a place in Pretoria S&I Auto Parts, I think they forum advertisers as well, Front lip isR3000, the side sills decals are under R1000 and rear boot spoiler is under R3000 for the plastic (not sure on Carbon)
so you can get away with it well under R8000.
