At the risk of sounding a bit flippant, could you not get a gold pen from Halfords or somewhere and keep trying the different "golds" until you find one that matches? If you want a perfect match, probably go to Brembo themselves and see if they will tell you the colour code??

Just a thought :)

You can buy decal kits and paint etc online Red/Gold whatever colour to match your car, I did this myself and I have no patience whatsoever !!

They were all pink and toasted, thanks to my careful driving :lol:

Interesting Idea Sweede, could start a new thread "Weird and wonderful Brembo colours" a yellow would look quite tidy against the blue of the car or black?

I personally would think a black or dark grey would be grey. Maybe the same grey as the alloys ? Or red.

Yellow would look OTT.

My personal opinion though

Black is likely to be black and grey will always be grey.
