Looking at these pictures even with the 280mm brembo brackets the caliper still does not sweep the whole disc and it sticks out at the bottom like mine do. I take it this is the same with all renault 197/200/Meg225 calipers regardless of the disc size ?

Perfect, Atleast i know that anyone using either 280 or 300mm set up with genuine Renault calipers will more than likely have this issue.
@NorthloopCup can you PM me whats involved in the Bell & Rotor set up please ?
P.S @MartinR calipers are looking nice BTW

Tbf i hate that ring and have always done. Even with standatd calipers on most cars this happens but it seems alot larger on the 300 mm discs.
Bell and rotor is a great option but an expensive one just to eradicate a ring of rust. Although i do agree it rotors and bells look loads better

I take it they are 16" wheels?
Calipers look lovely and I like the colour combo. I also like the lime green hoses.

Almost identical colour to mine on your calipers mate! Just a sticker colour differentiates them pretty much!

Yeah no problem mate. It'll be an easy way to wave good bye to £500 though! It may be cheaper if I'm having 2 sets machined up though.

Don't know about you but I'd definitely spend £1000 on bells/discs for absolutely no performance/cost gain whatsoever just to avoid a tiny spot on corrosion.
That 5mm ring of rust that's 50% hidden by the wheel spokes totally ruins the entire car. Hardly anyone will notice anyway and the rust is only there because you're using callipers/brackets that don't fit properly :nomouth:

There is a weight reduction. Sold it to me! Lol

Oh, some proper fitting brackets! 
Improves the questionable amount of thread engagement on the stud/nut too.
And are you going to buy another set of springs & take 2 clicks off the damping to compensate for said reduction in unsprung mass? :wink: Or weld some mass back onto your lightened flywheel to retain uphill engine performance. Don't mind me.

I'm already running softer front springs than is ideal, so I'm ok there! I couldn't think of anything worse though than removing the engine and box for the flywheel. Plus it would throw the entire bottom end balance out! Lol

16's. A brembo won't fit behind a 15 on a 300mm disc.

So would it just be a case of 197 brembos and the brackets to fit under 15" wheels? Obviously spacers too.
It's just I see that some people sell calipers and say they're from 197/200. I presume they are the same. It's the megane calipers that bigger?
Master cylinder stays the same? I'm talking for a ph2, not ph1.

No spacers and a cup turini.
Yeah your going to need a spacer mate. Not all 15's will fit so choose wisely. My 15" turinis wouldn't fit over @Cub. 's setup. Ever!!
197/200/225/230 brembos are all the same. 250's have a larger pad area and they're total overkill for a Clio though tbf.
Standard master cylinder will work, there's just a bit more travel, albeit nothing horrendous I'm led to believe.
