can someone confirm this? gutted if it is longer

I'm 100% certain on this, as I parked my car next to my friend's 5 door (both W reg) and the 5 door was significantly longer, by at least 30cm I'd say.

Have to say my Girlfriend has a 5 Door Polo 1.0E and I'm pretty sure there is no difference in length, also having checked Parkers (admittedly mistakes have been known to be made) it doesn't seem to think there is a difference. JPR_polo_gti - Why not measure your car, and someone on here can compare it or you could find a local 3 Door.

I just compared my 5 door gti to a standard 3 door mk5 and they're exactly the same length.
I'm still up for the swap if you're still interested and haven't lined someone else up yet.
btw thank MaxZ

That's odd because when we compared my mate's Polo to mine, it was a good boot length longer
