I believe so depending on the year, really early mk3 GTI's might have had smaller discs then the later models but I have limited experiences further back than P reg....

from mid 95 the 8v got the 16v/vr6 spec 288mm front discs

Early 16v were 280 tho, no?

Dunno what's on this VR on a 93. I think they're 280 but will confirm if I ever take the wheels off.

Yeah early valvers are 280mm. I have a set of 288 brakes waiting to put on mine though

Early vrs have 280

My 94 vr has 288 but they could have been swapped in the past

[boneybradley]

it has being said the 1993 16v and 92/93 VR had 280mm... they changed somewhere around 1993 (so I'm told)

I think different factories must have done different things!

So many variations! Seen P reg with square indicators and 280 8v then another one I had was all late spec on a P with 288.

my 95 16v had oval indicators but 280 disc

guess they wanted to use up old stock
