MGP’s patented stainless steel fastening clips fit snug within the inner portion of the calipers and secures the cover assembly by pinching the caliper to the cover itself. We utilized a lift to raise all four wheels off of the ground so that we can provide better photography for this review. NOTE: Installation is a DIY job which requires a home jack and a total of 30-40 minutes.
Brembo brake caliper covers install#
We solicited the help of our good friends at M&N Automotive, one of the premiere luxury auto technicians here in Los Angeles (and well-versed in the Tesla, to boot) to install MGP’s US manufactured Tesla Model S red brake caliper covers. Clearly labeled plastic bags contain sets of front and rear specific stainless steel fasteners designed to attach the covers to the brake calipers.
We received a set of six caliper covers for our factory 21″ Tesla Turbine Wheels – two for the front, two for the back calipers and an additional two for the rear emergency brakes (19″ wheels do not receive the emergency brake covers). The feel of the caliper covers are much lighter than one would think, thanks to its aerospace aluminum construction. You can’t miss the eye catching powder coated red (also available in custom colors) of the caliper covers. Thus the inspiration for California-based MGP Caliper Covers, manufacturer of the removable lightweight all aluminum Tesla Model S Red Brake Caliper Covers carried exclusively by EVannex. Owners of the 60 kWh or Standard 85 kWh Model S won’t fair as well unless they opt for a pricey $3,100 retrofit which entails caliper disassembly, painting and reassembly of the brake system – a hassle, but also an expensive commitment with no turning back. Tesla Motors offers red brake calipers as a ‘free’ upgrade on the factory four piston Brembo brakes on the top-of-the-line 85 kWh Performance Model S. You can’t get more ubiquitous than Brembo’s championship red when it comes to the world of high performance brakes. The MGP Model S Red Brake Caliper Covers add personality and color to the factory Tesla Brembo brakes
