    Steve - do you have a photo of the 9n3 Polo GTI brakes fitting under the BBS's? I was told by two dub mechanics that they were certain there wouldnt be sufficient clearance room for the brakes under my 15's.

    LOL I think they don't know what they are talking about I fitted 288mm slotted perfectly under the stock wheels. No pics I will try and get some on the weekend when I get my car back.

    You can fit 312mm brakes under 16s, so 288s are with plenty of room!

    Don't foget the 96+ mk3 was fitted with 288mm instead of the 94-early 96 mk3s 280mm.
    I'm soo euro even my missus is shaved...

    Good point. I think they were just trying to be on the safe side as I guess neither of them would want to be held liable if I ended up with a set of GTI brakes that wouldnt fit after they told me they would So I dont blame them. Photo would be greatly appreciated!

    No worries Mate I will get some photos on the weekend. The GTI brakes will fit as they are tiny standards these days! They will fit quite easily over the 15s no problem.

    Rotors (288mm) are the same, and straight swap. Caliper carriers will not fit a Polo though.
