Rear Brake Caliper Face Lift

Rear Brake Caliper Face Lift
I picked up my 2014 M5 with Ultimate package (available in Canada) few weeks ago, great car and love it
It has the following

• Premium Package
• Black sapphire Metallic
• 6 Speed Manual Transmission
• Speed Limit Info
• Full Merino Leather
• 20 inch M Black Double Spoke LT Alloy wheels
• Bang & Olufsen Sound System
• Competition Package
• Connected Drive Package
• M Performance Titanium Exhaust (developed jointly by BMW M GmbH and exhaust specialists Akrapovič and is made completely from titanium)

The care has regular breaks Blue (no carbon ceramic) the Front caliper looks great but the rear caliper looks like the one in my old Honda Prelude

I know the reason why it looks like – because of the Electronic parking brake
Brembo has a kit but you lose the electronic parking break – mine is 6 speed manual and I need the parking break

If you look at the M4 it has the nice painted rear caliper similar to the front but small in size because M4 uses conventional parking break with cables

I want to design a nice caliper cover to put over my rear caliper and then send both front and rear calipers/covers to iND for a paint job. Nate from iND can pint the calipers in any color- they do great job

The reason for this thread is to get some advice, help and ideas to come up with a great looking caliper cover or any other solutions
Thanks in advance

This sounds like a fairly unique car and so if we are to help you out, we need the following:

Pics from all angles
Sound clip of cold start and revving so we can compare to other exhaust setups.

After we have digested the above, we can begin thinking about the caliper issue.

I would buy them if you made them! Hate the look of the rear caliper.
