Default 2 front left Brembos

I have two front left Brembos. Is there any issues with mounting one of them upside down on the right side? I know there might be an issue with bleeding them, but any suggestions?

But alas that IS the issue. Physics is a **** my friend. Air rises and fluid sinks, hence a bleeder screw/cap at the bottom of the caliper will make it impossible to get ALL of the air out of your brake system. It's no fun when you go to press down on your brake pedal and the pedal falls to the floor.

Edit: Oh and I am almost positive that you will have to create some sort of adaptor to be able to mount the caliper meant for the left spindle on to the right spindle as I'm pretty sure the rotor offset will be off.

Unpossible, wont be able to bleed it properly and the differential piston bores will cause excessive pad taper wear on the right hand side

Do you really want to cheap out on something as crucial as brakes? Just buy the right Brembo and call it a day.
