They look alright. Are they the same size as the originals then?

I would imagine yes as it is a direct upgrade for the fabia.
Correct me if I am wrong anyone, the fabia share the same parts as the ibiza

 

[mattyfab]

That is correct, and the VW Polo I believe.

no point, spend the money on 312 conversion, virtually the same money and the increase in disc size will make a hell of a lot more difference than just drilling them. Drilling just helps to cool and deglaze the pads. But no performance gains, at best later to fade, but it would be marginal. Go for the 312 conversion, about £250 max including the calipers and discs.

agree that the 312 conversion is very capable, but whats not cool about drilled discs? nothing, thats what

"What not cool about drilled discs?"

.. cracked discs if you use them as they were designed i.e. hard .. leading to failure, replacement cost and worst case you and someone else's life if very unlucky .. oh and some noise (well grooved is noisy enough). To drill properly requires enough cast in strength in the first place which Brembo etc do as OEM not back street boyz..
