Default PCCB or not?

I just purchased a 2014 Cayenne GTS with these brakes. I'm not an expert but the disks look like steel. My guess is the previous owner just painted the calipers yellow. Are they PCCB? Thanks. I won't receive delivery for a couple of weeks.

Agree that those don't look like PCCB rotors.

You can use a VIN decoder to find orignal build.

Personally, I've always found the brake color menu on Porsche buggies amusing. Only one I'm really not into is the "acid-green" color used on hybrids.

Have seen a few pics of people that have changed calipers to colors like purple, orange, etc. If you're artistic/design oriented, you could coordinate with body color I suppose but that's way, way outside my wheelhouse.

Steel rotors with painted calipers. Not PCCB. GTS rotors up front are I believe 360mm and the PCCB rotors are 410 mm I think so they would also be a bit bigger.

Thanks guys, that's what I thought. The previous owner seemed to put a lot of money into the aesthetics over performance from the looks of all the alcantara and carbon fiber in the interior. My first Cayenne GTS so we are pretty excited. Looking forward to the V-8 growl.

I have the same interior.

Pick yourself up an alcantara brush and just use it every so often to clean the interior. Leatherique cleaner is also very good for the dash, seats and interior bits.

The font sizing looks off on the calipers, too.
