Will do Brembo - I will have a detailed post in the near future.  Unfortunately the Evo brakes will not fit  :bad:

I shall briefly explain - I got the brakes to clear the spokes of the 16s without the need of spacers, I got the Brakes to fit perfectly on 300mm discs borrowed from a Ford Focus ST170.  everything was look perfect!  So much so, a mini celebration took place!  :lol:

I managed to find a spare Fiesta hub which I placed  into the wheel with the caliper in the correct position.  DANM ***!*£*£$*$*!!!!

I could get them to fit.  However, I would either need to space out the whole wheel/disc/caliper assembly by 40-50 mm EACH SIDE! or make some major modifications to the caliper.  I was prepared to make some minor shavings to the caliper, but I would need to seriously butcher them.  Given that this is a safety item first and foremost, I had to pass over beauty and admit a reasoned defeat. 

Not the end of the world though, the 'rear' calipers in the avatar will fit and a set of those will grace my car soon enough - there are a few Fiestas with them on - but at least I can say I looked at every possible way of mounting the Evo brakes.

I have photos e.t.c - so will make a thread for the appropriate discussion  :)
