definitely, yes and it's not a stupid question.
Movit.de does some sort of kit, and you can always do the brackets to fit the calipers.
wilwood as a guide to do so, I think

As said above ^ they'll fit if you get some brackets machined up to fit. Only issue is if they catch the spokes of alloy wheels as corsa's have a very high offset...

Do you think 238mm disc's would be ok off a cav or calibra or does it depend on the caliper?

i suppose i would need to find out the size the caliper takes before i buy it to match it with a disc off a vauxhall!?

depends on the caliper. If i was you i'd call Hi-s[ec and see if they can make you up a set of brackets and discs to suit the calipers?

Look at the size for the porshce, there's fit under 17's, so should be able to get away with it.
