Here's OEM red for comparison. I prefer the "6 Piston" because very few cars have 6-piston calipers and it's always a conversation starter. With the Jaguar logo center caps, adding "Jaguar" to the caliper would be redundant. Also, the red Jaguar logo matches the red caliper. And those red accents look good with the Shadow Gray exterior paint. Now I'm thinking about changing my OEM black Growler grille ornament to the new style red one to complete the red accent look.

Thanks for the input everyone. I have decided to go with yellow, but retain the machined alloy R logo. I've had red Brembo calipers on several cars and decided to try something different. He's going to do one as a test and as long as I like the result, the rest will follow suit.

I don't think the "yellow" center caps are even necessary.
I would want the calipers to be the focal point when viewing from the side or at an angle.
The black growler Jaguar center caps with the yellow calipers would be my #1 choice.
But JA can try a few different versions.
I really want to see some photos of the new calipers on the car.

I have red accents all over the car, inside & out so I think yellow calipers will stand out even more. We'll see!

It is a difficult balance, but if you consider the number of times the text JAGUAR, R emblems & growlers appear on the car is it really redundant? The grille growler & text JAGUAR, the growler center caps with the text JAGUAR, the rear hatch plinth on mine says JAGUAR (though I may change that to say nothing like the later cars), growler badge with text JAGUAR on steering wheel airbag, R emblem on front grille, rear hatch, all 4 calipers, steering wheel, headrests, shifter knob & passenger dash cover & JAGUAR text on floor mats...
