Airbrush Painting My Calipers.. HELP!!

Hi Guys,

I'm Painting My Brother's E71's Brake Calipers.. His X6 has the M Performance Kit installed and its already in Custom Red... We have been thinking of Gold Calipers or the Blue Calipers but we've got no idea which looks better with the Car... I'll attach Photos of the Car and of the Calipers we like.. Which do you think goes best with the Car?

Gold/bronze. Red and blue doesn't go well in my opinion.
