Just purchased some fabia vrs hubs and audi s3 calipers carriers discs n pads which I think is a fairly easy job but does anyone know what's required to swap the rears from 232 to 256?

I think the only thing different you need to do is cut the lip off the back plate behind the disc

If you have bits from a VRS, then:
- carriers
- calipers
- rotors
- pads

All pretty easy, the dust-shield does need to be bent /removed.

Don't fit 4 motion calipers like I did. They do not sweep to the outer edge of the disc, but they do fit.
