As I changed the brakes of my VRS 288 to 300mm, what do I need to put these discs and calipers on our 1.2/12v HTP?

I think you mean 310mm/312mm rather than 300mm.

The 288mm front brakes use separate brake caliper carriers, whereas the smaller 256mm front brakes use brake caliper carriers that are built into the steering knuckle (aka the wheelbearing housing).

Therefore, when upgrading from 256mm to 288mm front brake, the steering knuckle needs to be changed...as well as the front brake discs, front brake calipers, and front brake caliper carriers.

The Fabia MK2 models that come with the 288mm front brakes as as standard appear to be the models that have at least 105PS. So if a 1.2TSI, 1.9TDI, 1.6TDI, etc. has less than 105PS it's fitted with the smaller 256mm front brakes. This information might help you to source the parts needed for a 288mm front brake upgrade from a suitable donor car.

The OEM part numbers can be obtained from a Fabia MK2 parts diagram, such as LLLPARTS.

When you get to lllparts.co.uk type in lllparts.co.uk/catalogs manually...if you are having problems getting to the Skoda parts diagrams...and you might have to sometimes refresh the page manually because of the anti-robot software lllparts uses.

Notice below, that the front brake pads for the 288mm front brake discs are available with and without a wear indicator...so it's easy to match what the car currently has.

These 288mm front brakes are used on the VW Polo MK4 and the various Seat and Skoda clones, including the Fabia MK1, Fabia MK2, and Roomster. The Fabia MK1 VRS uses these same 288mm front brakes but they are painted green and hence have different OEM part numbers and a different build code (1LP).
