I see the later 95hp is listed as 284mm front brakes, can anyone confirm if that is always the case in the uk.

I have I presume a 256mm setup on a 2012 1.3 duologic, can anyone confirm if it's just the discs and caliper carriers that are different, or if it's different calipers and pads as well?

As they are to be painted to show standard before fitting, I may as well get an upgraded setup and prepare it then swap them.
 
The calliper bracket are different width, I am sure the calliper are the same but the pads it will be different width but not the height. My old Punto 1.9 HGT is 284mm over the standard Punto is 256mm I know the bracket are different size, the calliper are same but the disc and pads are different. Look on Grande Punto 1.3 90 have 284mm disc are same brake system on your Qubo worth take two brackets off from Grande Punto at the scrapyard and try it but it is at your own risk. I am 50/50 sure it will work. But remember your alloy/steel wheel mind be too small for 284mm disc? the Punto HGT was 15inch alloy.

I should be able to report back and tell y'all shortly as I have bought a punto tjet 284mm setup ordered and I will mock it up soon as it arrives. Looks like I will need the discs from the punto as qubo 184mm discs seem to be 98mm pcd wheel bolt holes, later quob mush have switched from the gm 4x100 back to the traditional fiat 4x98 pcd.
