Why doesn't Audi put any effort into making their brakes look decent?
I have looked at many other cars' brake systems...BMW, Accura and Mercedes all apply some kind of coating or plating. When I bought my car it had about 80 miles on it and the brakes looked like **** already! Now that I added a more "open" wheel they look even worse! I don't want to spend several thousand dollars to upgrade the brakes either!

I happen to think they look pretty mean...the TT comes painted with some type of paint on them...
but I would like to see Audi beef up the rear brakes...Yes i know XX% is done by the front brakes...but have you seen even the 330's rear brakes? dem are pretty. Shouldnt really be upgrading brakes because how the look...maybe you would like the stock S4 ones if you painted the calipers?
