now 1st of all to fit the gt discs you need a minimum of 14" alloys fitted.
even them some are too small.my minators were too small.
the difference in disc size is 240mm to 257mm however its caliper clearence thats the issue
nothing particulary hard in fitting.
basic tools including 11mm brake spanner,13mm & 17mm open ended spanner.
sockets and possibly a breaker bar to remove the caliper bolts.
this is also an ideal time to upgrade the flexi pipes to stainless steel goodridge type.
original cinq calipers vs punto gt calipers
cinq discs vs gt discs
cinq set up fitted(not this has hubcentric spacers fitted if you wonder why it looks different)
punto gt set up fitted
the gt discs are vented whereas cinq/sei ones are solid
you can source the calipers from other models including.

be careful when ordering pads as there seems to be some issues with wrong info in the parts listings.
eg i had bendix calipers but they were made to the ATE pad spec
if possible get the info of the car year and model the calipers are off
now with a few people doing the upgrade it seems the later calipers seem the better option(circa 97) as they bleed 'better' and provide more pedal feel.
above shows the earlier calipers
above shows the later calipers
early pad design
later pad design
now thnks to stonenewt for this list.those shown in green have the newer type calipers
