Mine had been painted red to match the calipers when I bought the car. Not my choice, but didn't look too bad.

Nah, black or silver bells. White would look good if they were spotlessly clean and flawlessly finished..

Lies! The Volvo came with red bells too, and I was delighted to swap them out for non-red ones. It looks bad.

I say red... The they were red with a black hue all over :lol: As said, not my choice and I'm in the process of fitting new discs... With now black bells ;) Calipers are going to be a different colour as well 8)

You can get away with more with a black car mind ;)
