Thanks arromn I'm pretty sure the brakes are PBRs and yes they are painted red, never even considered them being Brembos, the rotors are slotted.

The sale date was 26/09/2005 will check build date tomorrow when I can see.

Makes sense now! Blue from factory for non Brembo on the early series (FPV log instead I think?) but obviously red was the preferred colour of the previous owner.

Ok didn't sleep to well last nite!

The build date was May 05, it has a FPV VIN Tag under the bonnet, the build number is 319 and everywhere I look there is a FPV logo so if some bodies done a "mock up" they've done a pretty good job!

I also realise that these things can be faked but I'm reasonably confident it's the real deal as it has had 2 owners , the original and a good mate of mine.

I wasn't sure if it was BA or BF when I first looked at it.

If you look closely at the caliper you can see the red paint peeling off and blue underneath.I will eventually return them too blue.

Now how the hell did he figure out my car is 319, do you guys have a register on here?

Might be time to put up a thread on "FAKES OR CLONES" if there isn't already one!

Thanks!

They are DBA 4000 discs. C5 C6 calipers have a small recess at the top of the caliper. Cant see wheel spoke is in the way

Lol don't no who you mate is but it is my old car I owned it for 3 years 2007-2010 so think he is telling fibs about owning it half it's life. It's a genuine BA 2F6 so don't stress bud that's how I no the build no. Blue calipers look crap when I got it they were all chipped so went red.
