Polo 6n2 GTis were built between 1999-2001 (from 'V'-plate for the earliest cars to '51'-plate late-models, I have only seen one '02'-plate car that was sold on eBay).

No idea. Not my area of expertise I'm afraid!!

I remember seeing a mk2 breadvan for sale on PistonHeads with a Lupo GTi conversion. Looked ratty as hell but undoubtedly shocked a few people at the lights etc :lol: it was dark blue in colour and advertised in London.

I wouldnt bother....The GTI gearbox is crap.....

Get a Golf 1.8 20V turbo engine....would be much cheaper than a polo GTI engine, more reliable and easier to work with imho..
