Caliper render for this kit:

The Citroen C2’s light kerb weight, typically under a tonne in VTS trim, is precisely what makes it a serious proposition in club sprints and hot hatch track sessions. The standard front brakes, though adequate for A-road use, were sized for a shopping-car duty cycle. Repeated hard stops without adequate swept area generate fade, and fade in a car this light is both avoidable and unnecessary.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that weak point directly. Covering the full Citroen C2 production run from 2003 to 2009, this matched pair of front calipers and discs replaces the front brake architecture with hardware rated well beyond road-use demands, giving the C2 a stopping capability that matches what the rest of the chassis can generate.
What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Citroen C2
On a front-wheel-drive car, every scrubbed mph happens primarily through the front axle; the C2 is no exception, and under hard repeated braking, that front-end bias makes the quality of the front hardware matter considerably. Larger swept area sustains pedal firmness through successive stops where the standard setup progressively drops off. The two-piece floating discs evacuate heat fast and expand under temperature without distorting, and braided stainless lines keep the pedal firm where heat would swell a stock rubber line. The three-tier pad compound choice, Street, Sport or Racing, lets you match bite characteristics and bed-in behaviour to how the car is actually used rather than accepting a single compound across all conditions: Street stays quiet and low-dust for the road, Sport adds bite and heat range for dual-purpose use, Racing is the dedicated circuit compound. The included caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, mean the installation looks deliberate, not improvised.
About the Hollow Front Big Brake Kit
XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit is a direct-replacement system, a left and right pair built for cars that have demonstrably outgrown their original stoppers. The vented two-piece floating discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. The three-compound pad specification reflects the range of users the kit serves: Street suits the driver who wants better hardware without aggressive pad dust or cold-bite aggression; Sport is matched to road drivers who also attend track days, offering a workable temperature window across both environments; Racing is suited to a track-only context where sustained high-energy stops are the expectation and operating temperatures stay elevated throughout a session. The calipers are hollow-body as standard for low corner weight, with the Hollow Racing caliper available as an upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty. Caliper specification runs from the no-cost painted finishes through Custom Color, any Pantone for a set fee, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) options, so the visual result can integrate with the car’s existing livery rather than looking like a catalogue choice. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Citroen C2 (2003-2009)
This kit covers the Citroen C2 across its full production run from 2003 to 2009. The C2 platform spans multiple trim levels with varying front disc specifications; the 1.6i VTS ran larger ventilated front discs than the entry-level variants, so confirm your existing front disc diameter against the kit specification before ordering to ensure the correct fitment for your engine and trim combination.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).


Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
