1997 Renault Clio Manual 21000 miles

I need to change the brakes on my car but I don't know what pads to buy. So how can I tell what brake caliper the car uses? I have attached a photo of the caliper.

Hi there,

With all other cars I have seen where they use different brakes it is always cast into the caliper some where, otherwise take a pad to get it matched.
