£150 will only get you an ok replacement. Like with anything... you pay for what you get.

Yeah there are several brake conversions you will find for that price.. Upgrading pads would be a good idea.. Upgraded disks I think are a waste of money..
Grooved disks are good, but drilled disks are liable to crack.. Flat faced disks are still great, as long as they are vented. If I were you I'd go for a second hand 266mm front disk conversion. There are many models of Citroen/Peugeot that use this set up.. Such as: 306 GTI-6.. 206 GTI, Xsara VTS, some Berlingo models etc, etc... If you are using 14" wheels you may have to angle grind a small amount off the caliper, but this is no biggie..
