Default Brake caliper sizes to fit my pepperpots on my Orion

Hey

I've had a good drive around today and I've been used to my fiestas awesome stopping power [EBC Greenstuff pads, EBC drilled + Grooved disks, Tarox braided lines]

Now I know the Orion weights a bit more...

But I'm struggling to find a caliper / disk setup that doesn't involve me throwing away my lovely pepper pots! I paid good money to have them refurbished and I don't want to throw them on fleabay just to go get some better stopping power.

So is there a brake caliper / disk conversion that will let me keep my alloys?

Its a mk3a Orion.

The tyres are 165/55/r14s, so 14" alloys. I've just stuck brand new Dunlop sports on them too ^^

Also in reguards to body kits.

Do the escort mk5 bumpers fit the orion? or are the rear bumpers a bit shorter?

I will have to wait for a Ghia Si to be broken for a set of colour coded "sporty" bumpers if so. If not I'm sure I can find an RS2000 that is shedding body parts.

Also I made this
