I know that on here it says 2.0 astra brakes will fit under 14" wheels, but have been told elsewhere that they wont, so can you guys clear it up for me please?
Got a 1.4 16v sport corsa, with 14" wheels, looks like this:

They'll be fine though Tom, they are GSI wheels so 2.0L ones will fit with no problems

Brilliant, thank you for your help.
"Stick on wheel weights"??? When i put the 2.0 calipers on, i have to get my balancing done again?
Or has the joke gone right over my head? lol
Cheers again guys

You may need to get them rebalanced - just check it again when the brakes are fitted.
Basically, if you have stick on wheel weights on the inside of the rim, fit the brakes, fit the wheel, and if the weight hits the calliper, remove it and go and get them rebalanced.
If they don't hit, brilliant, job done.
