Default Help identifying brake manufacturer

Tried researching with the vin# but no help. How to identify on XKR 2003 rag top. Are Brembo always red?
Thanks.

I have a 2002 XKR ragtop with Brembo's. They are not red. Mine are silver colored. (I think). Car is still in winter storage. I had the same worries when I needed to replace rotors. Brembo brakes have a clip and pin near the top to remove the pads and replace without removing the caliper pad block like on non brembo brakes. No wrenches required. I googled brembo pad replacement videos to see how quick and easy it was.

You'll either have standard brakes or high performance brakes ( Brembos ). If you have the large 4 pot silver calipers with the "R" logo on it, then you have brembos, otherwise you'll have standard brakes.

Ignore the disc as it's aftermarket and this isn't my car but a picture from the web. Brembo calipers look like this

See mines below. Pls let me know. Crossed R logo...


What do you think these guys are?


Forgot to me mention I have BBS wheels.

You can see the waves on the rotors too if you zoom. What's that plastic cover for at the top btw? An extra bleeding valve?




Sorry about the dirty wheels if you can still see, what do you guys think?

THANKS A BUNCH!!!
