    Checked the pads and correct part P85124N stamped on the shim but the shim is black not red which is not a biggy but the red shim as stated on the Brembo site would have looked better with the red painted calipers.

    Rotors finally arrived to day and just found them so will check them later.

    Funny you say that because mine came with a red shim, and they looked weird with my red calipers, so i took them out and painted the shims black so that there is a little bit of contrast. Looks much better with the black shim in my opinion.

    But when I installed some on my brothers car a few weeks ago, he had black calipers so the red shim looked good against the black.

    Thought it weird also so it could be a change they've made or ddifferent plant made them.
    Not concerned really about the colour and agree the gloss caliper and matt shim could have clashed
    Checked the rotors and they certainly do look better with that gunmetal colour than the silver from the factory.
