Standard ones will fine. Or you could find a 16v version which will have the larger discs, would have thought you would just need the caliper extensions and calipers from the car and should fit fine. Just check you dont need bigger wheels first though.

That's what i'd do, fit the 16V 259mm setup direct from a Renault 19 16V or Clio 16V. Rob the calipers and carriers off the Valvers then fit new discs and pads.

15"

I'd imagine the 2l Williams also uses the 259mm brake setup

Thanks mate. So if ive got this right i can buy 16v calipers then new discs and pads for the 16v and it will all bolt on to the hub of a 1.4 clio?

Its best picking up the full set up as you would have the carriers as well which the calipers wouldn't come with, find somebody breaking the car and nick the set off them for a small price.

Don't see why not, i imagine the Clio 1.4 uses a solid 238mm disc. Remove disc, fit 238mm vented disc and fit the GTT caliper carrier and caliper
