Xsara ones and 306 ones will. I think they could be the same ones!
Not sure about the Belingo or Picasso.

you may need to grind a little off the rear where they bolt to the caliper so that they clear the strut. thats it really.

Got a detailed answer for you mate from a guy thats fitted
GTi6 brakes to his 106 GTi:
Quote:
OK, here's some answers to your questions....
Did they fit on easily? Yes, they use the exact same fitments as the original calipers. No need to even buy any nuts. However, there was one tiny snag when I fitted the new calipers. This is really hard to explain, but I'll do my best. When the caliper was fitted, there was the smallest amount that was touching an area that it shouldn't. But a quick file down of the calipers solved this. So what else was involved? Not a lot really. Old calipers and disks come off, hoses off too, new disks go straight on, no different fitments, then the calipers go on. Then we used a one way valve to bleed all he fluid. Its important you don't get any air bubbles in there! I got a mechanic to help with this brake upgrade, I didn't want to take any chances.
By 'carriers' do you mean something like the part of the caliper that is used to attach? If so, then no, the one that's already part of the calipers is used. Its simple, the calipers fit straight on.
Hope this info is helpful.
