1.2i brakes mate, erm they have a 7mm allen head does that help?
you can try to use an easy out to remove the snapped bolt (or carefully weld a new bolt to it and try to undo it
OR
go to a scrappy and get a new caliper carrier and bolt
hmmmm the perfect oppurtunity to get bigger discs and calipers.

i've ordered the new brakes I know its crap but I need it back on the road first.
Daft thing is I was only swapping the pads with reasonably cheap ones to save money towards 2.0l ones :roll:
