Live and learn indeed, your alive and no one got hurt, the rest is just plastic and metal at the end of the day

It's just a 1.0 E right? I'd break it. There's a hell of a lot of visible damage there and that's without getting the bonnet up (unless you have?). Pov spec 1.0 E's are cheap as chips, buy another, break that one, salvage a few parts that you want, break the rest and sell it on eBay. Obviously that might not be possible if you haven't got space but it's a good way to cover your costs. You can easily make as much as you paid for the original car if not more. Accidents happen eh?

How much is it costing you then? (Minus Dblocks tenner of course)

I'd be insulted.

Does it really though? Because it's not the same as the Polo GTI 5 speed 'box is it. Regarding what to look for specifically on a GTI, it's been answered loads of times before so try the search, but off the top of my head... check the doors, front wings and bonnet are all original aluminium parts; check for paint bubbling on the rear spoiler and that the third brake light is working, and check the xenons and headlight washers are working.
