If you have the caliper, carrier, discs and pads, they will bolt on I think.

I don't think they are the same size as GTI though so you cant just fit the caliper as a direct replacement.

Some info here

@Andy calipers look spot on but the piston on the BKD is 40mm and the gti is 38 as I've found so now have a diesel caliper for sale  :doh: on the positive side I've rebuilt my left caliper today and have a brand new one for the drivers side all scotched up ready for black paint so can't be bad :smiley:
