I hadn't noticed that the red calipers clashed with the Firesand until you pointed it out. I'd go with Firesand or black calipers.

I have black on my IRR, and very happy with that as the red ones clashes with the IRR.

It’s just down to personal taste we’re all different, I prefer the colour of the callipers to match the colour of the car, mine is IRR and I prefer matching red callipers and here she is...

I’d go black callipers plus full black pack including vents and window surrounds. Shouldn’t cost too much.

Agree with apr1962

Firesand is a unique, stand out, colour. Introducing other colours will clash.

Black is the way to go 👍

Timbo has black calipers on his FS & they look great.

Depends if you want them to be seen. Black will just vanish. Firesand to match the car gets my vote

Red brakes against firesand clash. I went for black when I ordered mine. Bit obvious and didn't even think of having them match the car, which is a good shout. Black is probably the safe bet - £150 extra, a bit cheeky when buying new! A couple of (not very good) photos attached if they are any help.

I also selected black calipers, but no black pack, which is what I wanted.

Many thanks for all your suggestions.

I've decided black with orange lettering (only because I don't think any Firesand Orange paint would be heat resistant). Plus I'm going to change the wheel centres to black.

Cheers everyone!
