Are the brakes Brembos or just painted to look like them?

If originals, are they staying on the car, as the first photos don't show them?

They are Brembo, as are all facelift S8 brakes, just painted in red rather then the factory black which flakes away.

Hi,

Had them powder coated locally, after cleaning it yesterday I must admit it looks damn good.

It's simply down to the price of fuel!

As Amar states the calipers on the Facelift are Brembo's, just they are boring black as standard (as in the first pics, before I had them powdercoated)
