Evening all I've just brought a supposed g40 shell off a dude on eBay as the bulkhead has severly rusted on my g40.the dude reckons its a original but the log book only says polo coupe  .so I don't no what it is so I just thought I'd ask you lot I'm hoping it is many thanks

[Puncharado]

Shell in itself is no different, it was all in the parts fitted to it. Mine is an original G40 and it says "Polo Coupe G40" on my old school logbook.

[matthg40]

Yer my White one is exactly the same as the new black one I brought but the black one doesn't say polo g40 it just says polo coupe.I was hoping it was original but maybe it ain't but the one I brought is 1991

What are the main features on a polo g40 that separate it from a gt or a standard polo model

[Yoof]

Shell wise, not much- beesting aeriel in the roof, and a small rubber grommet in the NS wing.

Speak to the DVLA and see if the numbers match up.

Nice one for that yoof I don't think it's dodgy Im just peed off I may have been sold s 40 shell taut could not be one after all

[grayg40]

it will say if its an original G40 on the sticker in the boot.

[G40supercharged]

If I remember correctly the hole for the beesting in the roof is square. If someone had cut it out of a non G40 shell it's most likely to be round.

The chassis number is different for G40's isn't it? I'd have thought it'd have a different code so they could match it up with the corresponding parts when being built anyway :/
