Pete, The moral of the story is! Don’t be fooled by a nice shiny red Brembo box! Unless it’s callipers from them themselves! ECP’s sell some truly GASTLY brake pads! And yes you guessed it! They come in a very expensive looking red cardboard box! “Probably worth more than the Chinese pads inside!!!”

Oooo shiny.

I put blank ones on both my FFs.... saves a load of scuffing.

Looking good Pete....getting where you want it.

Brembo is a non licensed brand name Pete... This means ANYONE can use the logo if making any part to fit a vehicle with Brembo brakes... GOOD, BAD or IN-BETWEEN!!!

These ones were in a totally unmarked cardboard box, not even a Land Rover part number on them, no hologram or QR code, nothing inside the box apart from the disc..!! Pete

I’ll wager that they’re legit.

could be a return, and they re-boxed them in a plain box with no other supporting hologram or QR

a lot of this depends on who sold them I guess !

That's how they get them, they had a stack of them..

I have no doubt they are genuine in as much as JLR fit them at the factory, and maybe Brembo had an input somewhere but it would be nice to know which factory made them... Pete

JLR brake discs or pads don’t come in Brembo branded Packaging Pete... Never have 👍

C-T-C is correct, I did some research too because I couldn't quite believe it........

where it's due...........

Brembo make calipers -- not discs nor pads not sure it 'should' be allowed, but apparently there's a lot of it about  Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

There’s a big Brembo disc factory in Poland, that apparently supplies JLR - if they’re bought as OE parts, then they obviously won’t come in retail packaging.

so that puts paid to the myth that Brembo don't make Brake Discs ( Rotors ) then

obviosly they do in Poland

good find Philip

Got my "Brembo" pads and discs from AF about 5 or 6 years ago. 20,000 miles plus later and not a problem (fronts get dusty though). Previous cars:
