Link don't work. I think you can get the the callipers off cav or early cally XE with no need for modification and 256mm disks (for the same car). I should imagine they fit under 15's.
(I'm not 100% on that though!)
Hope it helps

Link fixed,
Think you mis understood my post, probs my vague discription.
Basically im looking at improving rather than completely changing... e.g brake disks and pads, rather than changing the caliper.
Just wondering if these disks will be ok for the job?

What brakes do you have at the moment?
Standard? 2 Litre? V6?

If you read the description:
This kit contains:
– 288mm plain ventilated discs
– Disc pads
– Calipers
– Caliper brackets
Comes with callipers, therefore you need to change the callipers to be able to fit these discs.
What engine have you got?

Get vented ones like are fitted to 1.4's and should be a bit better than solid disks IMO. EBC are good good pads so the should be fine wit different make disks but get the Green stuff pads for an upgrade Ultimax are basically (sp) OE replacements made by EBC

Get ones that are both 
Tbh it's not gona make that much of a difference whether the disks are one or the othe on a 1.2 IMHO.
Bearing in mind this is my opinion not fact
