I found the Girling website:
http://www.girlingauto.com/en/index.aspx
I looked through their catalog and found brakes for a POLO, (there were no
Rabbits in the list):
6015003 Brake Disc 0
Fitting Position: Front Axle
Brake Disc Type: Full, Ø: 239 mm, Br. Disc Thickness: 8 mm, Min. thickness: 7
mm, Num. of holes: 4
This is the first entry on the page. The information is all metric. Maybe
they did things in inches in the '70s, but Girling is metric now. So I sure if
you bought a replacement the part would be metric.

3..I once had a Canadian spec VW Rabbit - 1979 and made in Germany. The front
disc brake rotor had stamped on it its diameter in inches. Now it could be
because this part could have been made in the UK or even the US, but unlikely.
I wouldn't think that was unlikely. It was probably made by Girling in the
UK. Girlings have been common for decades on Volkswagens and Audis. My
Peugeot 405 Mi16 also had Girlings on it.
