PP Brake Calipers

I found a set of red brake calipers that were taken off of a PP C63 of the same year as my non-PP C63. Can anyone confirm that these calipers will fit on my car as a direct bolt on or would I need to buy the PP rotors as well? And on that note, would any other parts be needed for the conversion?

And FWIW I've already looked into painting my current calipers but I am not much for DIY painting and am not confident that I would like the result. So I thought this seemed like a better alternative.

As i know; "C63 PP & non-C63 PP", sharing the same brakes,

(360x36) Fronts & (330x26) Rears,,

painted in "RED" is the only difference between them..!!

,,ZAYED,,

+1. I believe they would be a direct swap. Same rotor sizes, same pads.

I didn't realize they were a direct swap. I knew that the rotors were different between the options...I believe two piece construction for the PP rotors. But if the sizes are the same than I guess they should be interchangeable.

I put regular one piece MB rotors on my P30, no problems (P30 has two-piece rotors).

Many people use the standard single piece rotors as replacements for the costly two-piece (or 1.5 piece) rotors. Should be a direct swap for the calipers.

I believe they are the exact same caliper (other than the red paint of course).

RacingBrake has shown in an article that there are differences in the calipers, but they are 100% interchangeable.
