i suppose thats the black bit behind the discs?...

So all i need is callipers and carriers and they bolt onto a normal polo?

You get them off something which is not a quattro. So the mk1 octavia vrs, Golf 4 GTI 180 and Seat Leon Cupra R. If they're off an s3 or tt they won't fit. Hardly worth the upgrade in my opinion though!
