Parts/donor needed

Hey everyone,

I recently had a pretty bad accident involving my '15 Polo, and I could really use some advice and suggestions right now. My car isn't starting after the crash, but strangely, the airbags haven't deployed. Could this be due to a pyrotechnic fuse or something else? (Just to note, it's a manual transmission but I haven't attempted a push start.)

I'm also on the lookout for spare parts or even a donor car to help with the rebuild process. Does anyone have recommendations for websites where I can find the parts I need?

Here's a list of the parts I'm looking for:
- Front bumper with fog lights
- Grill
- Hood
- Both headlights
- Right wing/fender
- Cooling package (radiator, AC condenser, fan)
- Radiator core support
- Rear bumper
- Rear crash bar

Thanks a ton in advance for your help and suggestions!

Fuel cut off has probably occurred. You may need it resetting with VCDS

Someone like Charles Trent or Silverlake may be able to assist with a set of used parts.

Lots of cheap parts at Allegro or srotas24. Or try Ebay also

Where are you located? Finnish car wreckers very often ship internationally. Eg. https://www.varaosahaku.fi/fi-fi/Hae/Os ... -33120719/
