Default French Mk5 RS2000

Bonjours, I present you my RS2000.
She is at present in revision.


























I wish to upgrade front brake in 280 mm but I have a small problem.
I do not find a brake disk of the good size not to use spacer and to keep ABS.
Could disks of fiesta ST150 suit?

iirc you can use sapphire cosworth 4x4 front calipers and disks with the original wheels, you just need a few washers etc

most of the non uk spec cars mark did not have the quality items we take for granted Mark , some models only had a zetec engine too but the more important question would be those pedals almost touching
