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 wheel bearing housing.

Therefore, when upgrading from 256mm to 288mm front brakes, the wheel bearing housing needs to be changed...as well as the front brake discs, front brake calipers, and front brake caliper carriers.

The Fabia MK2 models that came with the 288mm front brakes that have at least 105PS. So lowered powered models have the smaller 256mm front brakes.

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

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 (build code 1LP).

These 288mm front brakes are quite rare on the Fabia MK1, as although they were fitted to all models that had at least 105PS...it was only the Fabia MK1 1.9TDI VRS and the Fabia MK1 2.0 litre petrol that had at least 105PS.

For the wheel bearing housing, you can use ones from the VW Polo MK4/MK5 and the various Audi/Seat/Skoda clones, including Fabia MK1, Fabia MK2, Fabia MK3, Roomster...as long as they are for the 288mm or 310/312mm front brakes. However, the OEM part numbers will often be different from the Fabia MK1/MK2, and Roomster.

Thank you, a lot of info that my old brain has to work with.

Yes it was a kit I bought for the F2 VRS, from www.4yourdrive.de with 310mm discs, calipers and pads. So I I thought to mount the 288mm discs/calipers on the 1.2/12V. So I only need to buy a pair off steering knuckles/wheel bearing housings to mount on the 1.2.

And the cover plates for the discs.
