I wrote my car off polo 1 litre and am looking to replace for the same car insurance have valued the car am waiting due a price can I take bits off car before they scrap not sure how it works any heads up and advise will be great:)

what model polo is it?

usualy need to send it away as it is , unless you can swap other roadworthy parts onto it before it goes

So i can't take any bits off under the bonnet then?

What actually happens to the car once they collect it?

Don't they just take it to a scrap yard and crush it?

I was shunted from the back into the car infront.

Stupid girl racer in her Mums car, with male passengers legs hanging out the window! Probably, trying to impress them!

a salvage company will bid and buy it , depending on what damage they will sell it on for someone to repair or break it up for spares , so missing parts wont go down well

the odd relay and speaker wont matter , but you cant gut it to a shell

It's a 1.0.

Got a replacement lined up, so will just swop a few bits over.

Wasn't thinking about gutting it or anything, just taking the odd thing off, maybe to sell on.

I'd just put a brand new cat on, so that's annoying!!

I loved that car, hadn't had it for long!! Being, my first car.

That's interesting to know what they do with them.

Just hope I get a good offer from the insurance company.

It was insured for £750
