This is likely a stupid question but..

Looking around for new discs/pads on my 18 Cupra 300.

There seems to be 2 options on most sites for the calliper type. Brembo or TRW.

How do you tell which one is actually fitted, i cannot see anything obvious on the calliper. As it only has Cupra painted on them and not Brembo, I assume I have the TRW. but is that a correct assumption.

They are 340mm discs if that makes it obvious

Brembo are 370 floating disc .
Trw standard cupra 340 cheap looking disc, however there is a clubsport disc that is 340 from GTI clubsport S and it fit cupra and golf R s3, it expensive £370 but its 2 piece floating and looks like the Rs disc and are light.

Cheers pal. Figured it out that I had the standard trw ones in the end.

Set of brembo discs and some ebc red pads and now I have some whiplash inducing brakes
