Default Brake Caliper Letters

Hey Folks, my grey 2010 will get red caliper paint to see through
20" Senta wheels. I wonder if the calipers on my car have the letters
as on the picture I have attached. If not I will have to paint them cause that look is AWSOME

Most people buy them as decals and attach during / after the painting process for a finshed and professional look

hmm, I don't know if any decal will withstand 300C of heat from a Caliper.

The calipers shown in the picture are the optional Red Caliper Covers for the XFR. I asked the Jag Service manager to see if they would fit on my XF Supercharged as I agree the look is awesome. He told me that I'd have to swap out my calipers and rotors but I don't think he could really find out and just gave me that answer to make me go away.
I don't think the brakes on the Supercharged are different than the R. But I couldn't find that answer.
If I recall you have an XF and those brakes are different so you'd have to paint them and then decal it w/ something that would withstand the heat. I know the XKR's w/out the red calipers had an R logo on them. It would be interesting to see what material that is made of. From what I remember it was some sort of decal but it's been a while since I've looked at one.
