As above, they are probably the Porsche Boxster Brembo Calipers, known on here as the NQSBBK.

Looks like this (below). Either with Porsche or Brembo decals on. The part numbers for the front Calipers (if they are the ones you've got) are stamped into the Calipers. The part numbers are 986 351 421 and 986 351 422

First three are the model number 986 = Boxster

351 = Front brakes

421 Left Caliper (odd numbers) & 422 Right Caliper (Even numbers)

Just had a look at his previous posts (seeing as he bought them off here).

I'm assuming he has these, so not the NQSBBK.

Looks like the brembo Gt junior kit for the mk5.  Try either Dave, or failing that, the guys at race pads.com.
