Hi - I've had my 2016 S6 for a couple weeks now and just noticed today that the rear brake calipers have no covers. The larger front calipers have covers with the red S6 logo on them, but in comparison, the rear calipers have nothing. Other than aesthetics, I'm also concerned that the brake pads are very exposed on the rear.

Can anyone confirm whether this is normal with the S6 or did they forget to put the caliper covers on my rear brakes?

See below.

No cover on the rears is normal. And it is not a cover on the front that is all caliper.

Thanks. It just looked really odd that the caliper design would be so much different between front and back wheels.

The only C7 with rear covers is the RS7. I also think that the rear calipers looked wimpy. The 2.0 and TDI both have smaller front calipers.

ESC and MGP sell covers to tidy things up.

Thanks - the MGP covers look good ($179 for the set of 4, although, of course, only the rear calipers need to be covered).

It's good to know there's an option available to cover the calipers up.

Unfortunately true the calipers are different.
