I beleave you will need new hubs as the carriers are not fully removable so you can't put the 256/280mm on a couple of folk with Lupos have down this upgrade its looks like a fair amount of work though as you also need to change the calipers.stani540 wrote:hi i posted this in the mkv section but got no replies

I would believe Dangerous Dave is correct, the GTI uses ventilated discs and unless your 1.4 came with them you would need new calipers as the ventilated discs are thicker.
If you are planning on going the whole hog you might as well go for the G60 brakes as they are bigger and would be be more powerful than the GTIs...
