Agh man gutted :sad:

When you say twisted, which bit? The chassis legs are like paper on these. Got any pics of the damage? I'm breaking my mk3 although a fair bit has gone I might be able to help you out with some bits you need :wink:

forgot to say i broke my gearbox to but its come to me that this car may still live yet I've two alternatives

1. cut out the twisted bits and get the front from another polo welded in and reinforce it to stop any damage

2. get another cars chassis and mount the body to it (if i do this its going to be bad ass)

so which option do i take guys

Get some pics up matt will help decide whats best

as soon as i can get access to the car ill get pics bud

Gutted for you bro, glad your ok tho :)

mate, got a few on benjys telephone, will get them off him tonight and slap em up for you if i can. unfortunatly i was also in the car, was rather entertaining to ride....piece of advice tho guys, DONT HOLD THE SEATBELT BUCKLE!!! it will unclip as you land and then you will get tossed round like a ragdoll!

unfortunatly as matt said the cars not so lucky. rear bumper came off (without damage tho) front bumper is goosed, gearbox hit a rock and is also goosed, OS ARB mount is pushed back about 1" OSF wheel is sat towards the back of the arch, ARB is sat up against the echaust downpipe, radiator had a bracket broken and a punchure, lower rad support is mangled. But mostly replaceable bits tho. just the OSF chassis leg is the issue.
