CL500 (W216) ex-ML500 ML63 AMG and ML55
Trying to tweak looks of recently acquired 2007 ML500. Can't quite believe how ugly the calipers are but I can't seem to locate a viable cover (i.e. not the red plastic stick-ons and the like). Can anyone point me in the right direction? Doesn't matter about colour/branding, just anything that looks better than the current (photos below).

Rather than cover them, get them refurbished. It will be a proper job and either costa few quid and few hours of effort or a not unreasonable sum for a sprecialist to take care of it for you. Personally, I would steer clear of covers.
 
I've got a GL that I am torn about getting covers for or having a go at removing priming and spraying a nice bright red and a mercedes decal sticker

If you find anything that's good please hola
 
Personally I'd either brush paint or mask and spray insitu. (Black or silver)

As long as your eye isn't drawn to them how much time do you spend ogling your brakes?
 
Mask them off and either Hammerite them, or spray them sliver :)
 
Or just get a set of four pot brembos from an AMG.

Making a £10 painting job into a £500 quid job, new calipers, disks,pads, backplates sounds great to me (assuming the amg calipers need bigger discs which I'm pretty sure they do)
 
Refurbished ml four pots on eBay at the moment for £105 with postage, take a look and 54% off at gsf to get the pads and discs.

£105 for all 4?
 
Front two.
