    So I have decided that it is time to address the discoloration of the standard break calipers. I really liked the look of the standard but it just does not age well. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Yellow looks good! If you had Shields they would look even better.

    Thanks for sharing your opinions. Yes I am liking the yellow. I am not a fan of Shields on the FF, IMO it breaks up the flow of the pininfarina design.

    Let's be honest, the Shields break up the flow on all Ferraris. Haha. But kinda got used to them now. My car is very similar to yours and I'm used to the Shields. Is yours Silverstone? Mine is CDF.

    Mine is also Canna Di Fucile. Love this color and think the yellow will pop. Do you have yellow calipers?

    No I do not have yellow calipers. Mine are boring silver. I think yellow would look great.

    Funny. My GS Lusso came with Black calipers. At first I couldn’t believe someone paid to have them painted boring black. After I got black wheels and tinted the windows my opinion changed. The black calipers work perfect!

    Yes under clear coat. I will post more pictures once I get it back next week. It’s off to Algar to get the brake system purged.

    Is that some type of specific decal to resist the high temp?
