Default Exterior color accents

I am wanting to play with color accents on the exterior of the R and wanted to get any pics of what you have seen, or you may have done.

I know I have seen a few pics over the years, but they are scattered across the forum threads, so I thought we could consolidate here.

Also, has anyone changed the color of their calipers and if so, how did you do it? (i've heard there is a wrap product that can withstand the heat)

Thanks in advance for sharing...

I am going to try these, my mechanic has seen them on other Euro sports cars and said they aren't bad looking, they're safe to put on and remove.

I am also going to add some color eventually.

Crude Photoshop skills here, but gives me an idea to kinda go with the California Vintage Black and Gold plate

They generally get painted.

That'd be a massive job and engineering feat as you have moved the calipers to the other side of the wheel!

These are really the worst looking things on the planet in real life. You spent serious money on a beautiful car, don’t ruin it with these tacky covers. Not to mention they are way overpriced!
