Quick update.
Sneak pic at work today hehe
I hate the standard Corsa aerial so found a cheap and nasty beesting in my room, will do for now 
Then i fitted my depo's
Standard
O/S light done (can't really tell)
Didn't get a picture of the finished product as it went dark, will get some soon!
Then i remembered that i need an adaptor cable for my shitty head unit, so i popped along to Halfrauds for a £15 cable..
And spent £120 on a new head unit  
Thats it for now, enjoy!

you dont need 288mm discs with all the weight of v6 calipers on a 1.4. just get a decent valver set up, cav calipers, new discs and maybe some uprated pads. you 'may' also need spacers to get them under 15's..which will reduce the life of your wheel bearings.
your standard brakes will be fine
valver ones will be better
v6 are a bit overkill imo....others may disagree but...
ps wana sell it?
