    Do the mk2 16v 256mm brakes bolt up to lupo's in particular a 1.4 lupo thats running the standard 239mm set up.I have the mk2 golf 16v complete hub set up. Is it really just a case of putting in ball joints and bolting them up?

    nope bearing cvarriers slightly different. you need polo/lupo/arosa gti ones. the calipers and carriers are the same as mk2 though, except the later ones use a banjo brake pipe fitting rather than the mk2 std thread
