Title: Front brake caliper plates
Post by: purplepowermonster on November 23, 2013, 13:37
The two front brake plates on the toy are different and the manual says make sure they are not mixed up, problem is my manual shows different plates.  It's a 2006 facelift, if anyone knows which is the top and which is the bottom I would be grateful to hear from you.
A couple of photos of the plates from one caliper:

Hi Paul,

The left plate is the top and the right plate is the bottom based on looking at an old photo of my car, hope that helps!
