Is this aimed at mk5 Polo owners in particular or are us mk4 owners allowed to comment too?

If so.. what's the mileage? And Mot etc

Would probably make a good daily driver, wouldn't mind something like that myself.

u could always put a lovely vr6 in there!!!! my mum had a 1.3 jetta and it was underpowered for its size but the 1.6 would probably be ok!!

how much would an engine conversion like that cost? or even a gti conversion?

Like all VW's it depends on place of build, the German ones, like the Golfs, are very, very good. Swiss or Spanish build is another issue.

Best thing to do is make some enquiries, as every place will no doubt be different.
