Brake caliper mismatch

[RickZ]

Hi, the brake calipers on my 2019 base Macan are gloss black on the rear and matt grey front. Does anybody else have the same...

I just went and checked mine. They both look black but they are made of different material, the ones on the back are a shiny gloss metal and the front ones seem to be a more rough, porous type metal.

Could the front ones have become discoloured through cleaning products?

It seems as thought the rear are smooth black gloss and front rough dark grey on the base Macan. Any other base owners with standard calipers like this...

Mine are shiny back Mat black front

Have they by mistake fitted S callipers at the front?

I raised it on another forum where other base Macan owners have the same caliper finish mismatch. It seems to be standard on the base....

Mine aren't grey like the picture, the finish is much darker and looks like a matt black.

Yes the fronts look light grey with bright sun light on them but in fact it's more a darker grey in normal light. I'm lost as to why they should be different considering during config they can be selected all to be gloss red. With this in mind why can't the the standard front and rear calipers be the same finish....

But just ask yourself....do they still work? ...and isn't that the most important question.....?
