While changing the front drive shafts on my vrs MK 1 the lug on the nearside hub which the calliper attaches too snapped. I cannot find a secondhand one for love nor money and so the question is will a cupra R one fit from the same year which I can find.???

Doesn't look like it to me.

To all the doubters yes they do fit. So if you need MK1 wheel hubs and trust me there rocking horse “””” to get hold of grab a cupra r of the same year happy as Larry
