Ash,

The Polo GTi's calipers are much bigger than the standard Polo ones...

The discs are 256mm as well

156mm m8 are you sure on that one buddy?
thing is thou when i fitted my pads it had a fitment list on the bak which listed 1.4 8v 1.6 8v and 1.6 16v which is the gti i think (unless ive payed lees attention than usual) so i thought maybe the calipers might the same but its possibly that the pad fits different calipers

The discs are 256 indeed. The calipers don't match though, I've checked ETKA a while back- I liked the idea of GTI brakes. Then I figured out I needed the discs, calipers, pads, that bearing holder thing...

Too much cost for me to handle.

I think (long time ago) to around 800â‚¬ minimum, new from the dealer. Both sides though.

Could be well off btw.
