As per title really, what is required to fit 256mm vented discs (with calipers) on to the rear of a Cupra?

OK, perhaps a bit more background is needed. My Toledo is currently sat with a very bent rear axle, and I've found someone who is breaking a Cupra. Obviously I'd want to keep my 256mm rear brakes, and I was wondering whether the rear axle off a Cupra will fit my car without having to do anything posh to the rear axle. If it's simply a case of bolting on my calipers then I'll be happy!

By the way, I'm assuming that the 232mm discs and calipers the guy is selling is also off the same car, that's why I'm asking the question. If Cupra's came with 256mm vented discs by default then it's all good! :D
 
you can joust bolt on te 256discs calipers and carriers but will have to remove the 232mm splash guards first, i have just fitted r32 calipers onto my leon

I don't have much need for splash guards to be honest, the only time I know they're there is when they've corroded so much they've broke and are catching on the disc!!

A pair of tin snips will solve that particular issue... :D
