C43 - brake caliper colour?

[braddo]

What colour(s?) front brake calipers did the C43 leave the factory with? It seems one of mine is red and other black...

As far as I know they left the factory in silver.

Silver IIRC

Thanks. Could it be the black one is simply an original silver one covered in caked-on brake dust?

I'd imagine so.

I sold mine a while ago so if you want a definitive answer about this (or any other aspect of C43 ownership) try mbclub.co.uk where there are 20+ C43 owners.
