yeah the 2.0 brakes are only 20mm larger in diameter over standard items, you wont really notice a difference in size. V6 will be your way to go, or if you have money to waste, look at big brake conversions from someone like Tar'ox or Wilwood

the 2.0 ones wont look all that bigger behind your wheels... v6's are your friend... bit silly for a 1.0 but they'll 'look' nice...

I have a 1.0 Corsa B. Want the brakes to look a bit bigger behind my wheels. does the whole disc and caliper need changing?

Also what would be a good pad and disc just to put on standard size.
