Tough one really, it must have been done before though.

All I can personally suggest is the obvious. Brake Calipers, Carriers etc etc. I take it your MK4 already has rear discs?

I wouldn't have thought you would have too many problems doing this, try www.pologti.de and see if anyone there can help

Just to add...

If your Polo doesn't have rear discs, email or PM member StevieB as he carried out a MK4 rear disc conversion to his MK4 Polo. Admittedly they wern't GTi brakes, but he should be able to help you out allot.

I was looking at swapping my brakes for some off a 6n 16v to my CL. I needed everything. calipers, discs, bells and brackets. not too expensive if you can find a recon set though.
