although i've just remembered that some folks said that the fiesta offsets were different to the escort ones

you can always find the later sierra brakes as they use the same size but just not the xr ones as they have a different offset for the discs

you can use escort calipers with mk5 rs2000 discs on the fiesta if my memory serves me right or use full escort cossy setup

when i fitted bigger brakes to my fiesta turbo (many years ago) i used MK2 Granada callipers and escort RS 2000 discs and they went straight on with no mods needed
(but i would think granada discs will be hard to find these days as said done mine going back about 10 years ago)
