Correct Brake Caliper identification on TDV8

Good Evening all,
Being new to me, and my first RRS, im currently having everything serviced for peace of mind, and wondered what brake calipers i have on the front and rear of my RRS 3.6.
I was told they're unmarked Brembo calipers made for LR, is this correct?

Ta muchly in advance

Yes Paul, they are brembo's They would have originally had a brembo sticker on the front caliper but the ones ive seen lately have tarnished and gone grey. Have a search on here and take a look at our refurbed painted calipers a few of us have done on here. You get new brembo stickers off a well known auction site.

I'm sure you will need nice new looking calipers behind those new shiney wheels.

Top man.

Many thanks Ady for taking time out to help

Yes im really spoiling my new RRS, and realised i have time to do some work before the nice weather comes.
So a caliper refurb will go down well, me thinks.

Hmmm black or silver or red?
I will take a looksee at what others have done and hopefully this will help me decide.

Edit:
Just read through your link, wow they look great mate
I thought mine were silver there actually black thats gone off

Yellow is to go with a blue D3

Also fitted a set painted in Subaru Blue (minus stickers) to another D3

I've got a TDV8 and thought about painting them but.. RED or Yellow calipers on a Diesel!!!
Shouldn't that be limited to the Supercharged and Overfinch models!?

I think so, because painting them red or yellow tends to be pretentious.

I was slated for yellow... Until they were fitted onto the car

Needs a better set of wheels to show them off though

As long as your happy with the results DM, that's all that really matters.
FYI, they look rather good, but that's just my opinion
