If you have build code 1LB or 1LM you will have 239mm diameter front discs.

However, it would appear that from year 2011 the 239mm diameter front discs were no longer an option on the Fabia with 256mm becoming the minimum size.

 

What option code do you have for your front brakes?

I do have 256mm on atm but the carriers were cross threaded on to the hub and need new hubs. So good excuse to go bigger anyway 

Take a look at the 2003 Audi A3 with ATE brakes in the 288mm size.
