Does anyone know where to find info on which parts of a Golf GTi are interchangable with a Polo GTi?
There are so many Golf parts available 2nd hand, but I can't find any info on what will/will not fit my 9N GTi.

Specifically, anyone know if the Golf seats can be swapped with Polo seats?
Or if the head units are interchangeable?
Finally, will this fit the Polo? - 1" Shifter Extension - Verdict Motorsports (http://shop.verdictmotorsports.com/product.sc?productId=131&categoryId=13)

You'll find a lot of the engine parts from a Mk IV Golf are the same but not a Mk V.

The part you've posted looks pretty generic though. You'd have to check the thread dimensions somehow to see if it will fit...

You should contact the doctors at AMI like the billboard on the freeway say. I even went and found the website for you ... AMI Australia - Premature Ejaculation & Erectile Dysfunction (http://www.amiaustralia.com.au/)

In terms of bodywork and interior similarities, there are few.

If you assume most things are not compatible, you'll be starting in the right place.

From memory the Polo gearstick is held in with a worm screw, so I'm not sure the extension would suit.

The seats would be dependant on the rails, alternately, have a look on the Polo UK site, they do some interesting things over there (including BT builds).
