S Class 350
Caliper Covers
Regarding S Class 2009/10 (59 plate)

I have recently had my rear tyres changed and have since noticed that my rear calipers are exposed, where my front calipers have covers on.

Is this normal not to have caliper covers on the rear?

Shouldnt have covers. The fronts may be aftermarket.

Maybe he's just referring to the stock front calipers being powdercoated silver, which started in 2010 for S550, which makes the rears look naked.

Definitely might be the case here.

Yep, that is the same on mine too. I would prefer if I could at least get the cover identical to the front calipers.
