If you are saying the Brembo calipers have been replaced with the standard caliper, then you have been robbed. Demand the Brembo's are replaced as the vehicle is now too powerful for the brakes.

If you are saying you think the Brembo calipers have been fitted with the standard brake pads, then I doubt if they would fit the Brembo caliper and you have misunderstood the dealer. Gone - 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey, ebony, zabrano trim, TV, Tasmods, mudflaps.

I agree, you've been robbed! Can you take a photo of the new calipers?

Brembo pads are stil available and the calipers are still fitted to new vehicles. Can you give a bit more info?? Has the dealer removed the Brembos or ishe refusing to fit them or refusing to fit new pads??

The Brembo pads won't fit standard brakes and standard pads won't fit Brembo brakes.

Or is he telling you he has fitted non-Brembo pads as he claims they aren't available from Brembo??? Cheers

Glad you are happy but what was wrong with your original black Brembo calipers that they needed replacing with new grey ones??? Cheers
