Maybe a stupid question but are they? If I buy 1.6 discs and pads will they fit my 1.2? Or are there any upgrade calipers that'll fit under my 13" wheels? Cheers

Speak to Connor/Conza about this one, as he fitted some corsa B calipers and vented discs to retain his 14" 3 spoke alloys. Personally, I'd fit 2ltr ATE brakes and 14" Astra alloys (min)
Yes it is a stupid question,
1.6 had vented discs, 1.2 did not, 1.6 had 236mm discs astra 256 discs and calipers will not fit under 13" wheels
use later corsa b calipers & std discs... as most if not all the 236 vented ones are rubbish anyway, and apart from being able to say you have vented discs, they are definitely no better on the road.
just make sure your rear brakes are working at 100%, get them serviced according to Haynes.
then change the fluid
