Does anyone know if these parts are interchangeable between these cars?
AFAIK, they all run the same brakes

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Since I broke my car, including the passenger strut (and hub, of course), that's half the job taken care of!Resident grumpy old fart

I thought I had posted about it in the "What did you do Today?" thread but obviously not
I just clipped the outside kerb at a roundabout entry (I was watching an oncoming car to make sure it wasn't going to turn across me so I turned in a touch early). Sadly for my PoD, the kerb, at that point had a small chunk missing (about 15cm wide) and because only the edge of the tyre went into the gap, the sidewall was pinched and the edge of the rim hammered into the kerb, resulting in- Totalled tyre (massive hole torn in sidewall)
- Possibly totalled rim (big chunk out of lip and possibly buckled/cracked)
- Bent hub
- Bent strut at base

That sucks
Roundabouts plus sorted Polo usually equal fun, not torture.
