Default 2005 S4 Caliper Covers (Red)

Can anyone refer me to a site that I can get caliper covers for my S4? I have gone online and there are thousands to choose from but I can't find one that I know will absolutley work on my car. They all say there may be some alterations to make and I don't really want to experiment so if anyone knows of a particular brand that will absolutely fit I'd appreciate the referral.

Thanks, Jeff

First, Wilkommen to the forums.

Second, I looked into the caliper cover kits for while and came to the conclusion that they really aren't worth it. One of the bigger problems with our cars is the possibility of clearance problems, especially if you are going to get aftermarket wheels. I came to the conclusion that the best way to "spice" up your OEM calipers is to go with one of the brake caliper paint kits. IMHO ebay is probably the best place to get the kit, though you local auto parts store probably has them as well. Make sure to get a "two part" kit. The kits that just come with a rattle can of paint aren't worth it.


full disclosure, I have not done anything with my brake calipers (yet). This is just my opinion based on the research I have done on making my calipers look, not bad.

I've never used any kits, but somebody referred me to this website for the Porsche colors. Just sending it so you get an idea of what is involved.
