After seeing the back of another truck on the M1 too closely again for my liking I'm thinking about upgrading the front discs and calipers on my 1.2 to use a vented set.
I've got 13" steel rims at the moment

My mate has a MKIII Astra TD and it has vented discs but he has 13" steel rims....if i got some discs & calipers of a Astra TD would they just bolt on my Nova ??

I've been told to use calipers etc off a MK III Cavalier SRi etc but I'll need to get 14" rims. Will 14" steels do ? I'm on a budget !!!!!

Can anyone advise me ??
