   Yep,will fit on with 283mm discs from xantia 3.0 v6 and the likes....
   
   You may need different lines for the calipers and bigger wheels to clear the calipers.

   I've got brembo calipers from the 406 coupe so I'll be doing this myself.
   
   Apparently they are lighter than the gti6 ones and are even lighter than the std saxo calipers.

   You can use 283mm 206 gti180 brakes aswell.. They fit.
   
   Ill be using them once my car is ready, so far can only find 266mm in the scrapped, not good enough for me

   Nd what plates do you use for mounting the calipers the saxo ones or the 306/206/406 calipers mounts or do I have to get them made up and will it make much of a difference doing this conversion

   Straight swap, there is no carriers.
   
   Edit; well.. There is, but its all 1 unit, nothing to bolt on before bolting brakes (hence)

    why use different discs?? the gti 6 ones fit fine, the brake lines on the saxo are fine for gti 6 brakes

    they arent always a straight fit, many need the cliper grinding down a bit, mine did
