you will need new front hubs in order to fit your brakes - you can get the Fabia VRS / Polo GT TDI / 9N3 GTI hubs and these should work.

there's an article on it on a skoda site somewhere - that might be google-able!

but the hubs from Polo gti fit to polo 9n tdi?(ATD) i looked at etka but im not sure...so if they fit i shouldn't have no problem fitting the S3 brakes?
Some1 told me that i would also have to change the "bearings"...1OO pound per piece

No i told you you would have to replace the hubs!

Quite obviously you werent listening though

On a side note you could replace the wheel bearings while you were doing it

Yes the HUBS from a 9n GT/9n3 GTI/Fabia VRS/Ibiza Cupra/Ibiza FR will all fit!

Do you maybe know some owner of Polo who has 312 mounted on?

As suggested, nip across to www.briskoda.net and find out what the Fabia people have been doing.
