Yeah, very true... I would love them, but I can't justify the cost plus engineering for Porsche brakes. Legally, Polo's can go to the R32 brakes without engineering as these were fitted to the Polo Cup standard.
I'm pretty much done with mods for my one.... The next mods will be getting the bonnet done in black again, an coilovers.

Yeah, they are 312mm rotors with twin piston calipers if I remember correctly... I remember looking it up on the VW servicing site when I was at Guys place last month.

R32 brakes are bigger than 312mm, 312mm is S3/TT with single piston, R32 was like 334 with dual pistons

Well they would be 334mm brakes then... They were definately 2 piston calipers... I'm trying to look it up now, but having no luck... When I was at the workshop, we were talking about the plusses of having these brakes fitted as they would have no need for engineering due to the standard figment on the Cup model. I'll post a like iff I can find it.

Well, I look like a dag. Found pics of the Cup, and they look like 312mm single pots, so I was wrong about the twin pots... Ahh well...
