Front brake callipers

Anyone know what the correct colour is for the front callipers on a 2011 MY L322 TdV8 please? Just bought what I'm hoping is a nice Vogue in Bonatti Grey with black leather and piano black woodwork, it's obviously been looked after by it's 3 previous owners, very little rust on the wheel arch lips inside the rear door area, easily fixable and the last owner (given it looks no more than a couple of years old) had a Witter towbar fitted and it doesn't look as if its ever been used (tow ball still grey steel with no grease in evidence). Time will tell! Drives:

They are cast aluminium alloy, not coloured from factory.
Just a tip, the pad retaining pins are a common problem when they corrode and seize if not regularly removed and cleaned.

Cheers Mike, I'll just clean them up then. Thanks for the tip re. the retaining pins, the supplying dealer just fitted new front pads so they should be ok for a bit, I'll do them when I clean up the callipers.

Hope it's not bonatti grey, as it was discontinued in 2005.

And you could always bling the calipers a bit Whistle Remember:- amateurs built the ark

Yours will be Stornaway Grey sir...

The SC's of the same era have gloss black Brembo callipers if that helps?

just clean them well and coat with some NANO coating and they will stay clean for a long time. Thumbs Up

Many thanks for all the helpful responses. It’s had the oil cooler replaced less than 500 miles ago and at the same time had the main turbo replaced. Also, quite right, it’s Stornaway. Thanks again to all. Drives:
