Brembo vs JCW brakes

Hi

I have a 2009 JCW, front calipers are 4 pot. They have brembo on the front of them visible in white, on the back(can't remember exactly where) they have writing on them saying brembo + a part number on the metal(from the casting?) so they are real brembo OEM brakes for the car. However, whenever I see someone else with these brakes, especially new ones they have a JCW sticker symbol on them. Have mine been changed or are there two designs?

Thanks

Pictures can be worth many words, and would help solve this issue very quickly….

Why the confusion?

Mine clearly say Brembo on them.... 🧐



I also have AMG brakes on my MB that have Brembo stamped on the back...so yeah, they are official, just not top-o' their line.

Those are clearly JCW Brembos, but they must have been refurbished at some point. They were never supplied in that color and with “Brembo” labeling on the front.

The actual aftermarket Brembo brake kit uses a much different caliper design:

.... yep, was adding the first images and injecting humor. Those are in fact my OEM JCW 4piston 'BREMBO' calipers which I had rebuilt, refinished and relabeled to match the wheels.
