    Black with yellow centre caps on the wheels. Or yellow calipers.

    Red would make a nice antithesis.

    Red or black are both winners IMO. Coin toss.

    Yellow only works with shields and ''normal'' wheelcaps.

    Keep as is then... Unless you are open to painting the calipers dark blue but that may be to much blue.

    The pole would be interesting if it included yellow too.

    Black would be nice and classy. It's a dark car with an elegant styling, red calipers will be too busy and remove focus from the car, imo. Depending on which shade of black the car is, perhaps ask Ferrari for a set of calipers in matching black colour. If the car is Nero Daytona, Nero Daytona calilpers would look better than regular non-metallic Nero calipers. Just a thought.

    Agree but he said he doesn't do yellow calipers. I vote black because the car has no shields. The silver calipers just always look wrong to my eyes- but everyone has their own opinion.

    I like yellow but your car is murdered out, so perhaps black or red :)

    leave as is. black is the only one I would change to if you really want to. The blue stitching wont allow a decent colour mix with red

    I would leave as is. Even the factory often chooses silver calipers for the press cars. The factory puts a lot of thought into the color combinations and trim for their show and press cars. It isn't just one person ordering stuff...

    Colored calipers give an opportunity to make an accent statement on an otherwise monochromatic car. If you want that kind of accent you can go for something flashy like red (you already have red in your tailights) and makes a nod to traditional Ferrari livery. Or you can be more understated and stick with silver, which does not introduce another color tone but still makes a statement.

    Silver calipers look like standard equipment. They may go better with a silver car or with clear rear lights but on a black car with standard lights they just look grey and match nothing… or look like they're dirty. Black calipers may work better for a monochrome look but then you might also want to black out the rear lights.

    IMO, red calipers work best with the current car as the silver ones look like a mistake.

    Black Calipers with Red Logo.. I would suggest another bright color.. On a black car it would really pop behind the wheel.
