We still don't know what car these custom brake calipers went on, but the guy who had the idea must be a mad genius. Yellow or red is commonly seen on Cayennes strolling around town, so if you want people to notice what's behind your alloys, they need to see something unexpected.
An unidentified car lover by the name of Tzutzu Tzu caught the attention of Dub05 magazine with his custom caliper paintjob. He chose to color them in white and orange while also adding the Kinder snack logo.
Kinder is a famous line of sweets named after the German word for kids. It's been in business since 1967 and makes the famous Surprise eggs, as well as snacks like the Delice and Bueno. Somehow, a company that sometimes puts toy cars inside eggs is a perfect match for 1/1 scale performance automobiles.
Like we said, identifying the car these brakes went on is impossible. But there's something that screams "Volkswagen Group" about the design of the 6-piston front calipers. We've found a guy on Facebook with the user Tzutzu Tzu. He's from Romania and clearly a VW fanatic, judging from his widebody custom Lupo and Skoda Fabia vRS (the old one with the 1.9 TDI). Our best guess is that these Kinder alloys came from something like a Porsche Cayman or a Golf GTI and were going to something that's 100% custom.
Such love for part swaps is common within the VW community, as you often see Golf GTIs with Bentley or Lamborghini wheels during the Worthersee annual gathering in Austria. Somehow, putting Porsche parts on a GTI magically makes it less of a hatchback and more of a sportscar. Because the platforms are the same, you sometimes see RS3 gearboxes in a VW Beetle and Golf R bumpers on an Eos convertible. Either way, this is the biggest community of hot family car lovers in the world, so Kinder brakes make perfect sense. It will be several more decades before we see Samsung Galaxy logos on the Hyundai i30 Turbo or Kia cee'd GT.
