      Well the body's white and I've got the gun metal grey atom wheels so I reckon the white callipers would look spot on.

        Yeah, how long would they look good though mate. I painted my calipers Yellow on my Vec-C and soon regretted it. They get dirty so quickly.

            i did the vxr in red , been on over 2 years and still like new , when i had the vectra they were also red and still going strong as my step-son drives it now , white though will look nice will be dirty very quickly , blue on white looks good imo .

                Did mine red but you have more options on a white car. Red looks good but so does blue.

                      Thanks Rab ,
                      The op has a white insignia, so red,blue,will work imo well , I went red as the red and black theme going on.

                        Having the red car it was the obvious choice......and as you have an OCD for the attention to detail, even the brakes have the Khalid touch.

                        You car looks better now than when you bought it mate.

                          Red seems to suit most colours. I had red on white, red on blue and they both looked fine. Not done the Vectra or Insignia but have thought about it a few times and red would suit them also. I suppose as usual, it's personal to everyone
