Yes they fit (but need the R32 carriers and calipers too). Splash guard can be re-used just needs bending back a little.

^^^^^

As the gaffer says.  Yes they can be used, just takes a small tweak. 

I was one of the first to fit S3/R32 rears to a Gti.  I tried the S3 guards, and they just do not fit, could only get one screw in correctly.

Thanks guys. Soooooooo

You can bend the gti's back a bit

The s3 don't fit

What about the actual r32 ones? I've read they have 4 holes to mount vice 3?

I wouldn't bother looking any further.  Just fit the discs/calipers etc, and tweak the guards to provide clearance.  I ran this set-up for ages, then when removed tweaked them back into shape.  All good.

Does the R32 have a larger master cylinder?

Fairly sure they are the same.
