I reckon its been on a headon crash and replaced with cheaper standard polo parts, explains why all the other problems are there.

Poor Polo, repaired on the cheap, lots of work needs doing by the looks of it :(

The "dent" on the passenger door looks like some theiving type has tried to get in without the help of the keys!

Its quite a sad scene really, I really hope whoever buys it puts it all back as it should be and restores the car to its former glory :(

That's a sad sight, just looks weird!

Did you see mine on there? Hopefully someone will be more interested in mine, as nothing needs doing to it :D

If it went really cheap it would be ripe for an engine swap but it's even gone beyond that now :(

Don't think its a GTI at all the seats aren't GTi seats, since theres no photos of the engine or the full interior I recon its a 1.4 Sport.
