Looking good mate, seems like a nice 'fun' car...

It's a '96 1.9d l. I originally wanted a TDI but this one popped up and I just couldn't say no to it.

As for plans, I have a set of GTI Hella headlights, which I plan to Lamin X once I get the time and money. Also I want some new seats. Originally I looked at leather but I don't think I can afford that realistically. So maybe some GTI non-leathers. Any suggestions of what to go for?

A standard set of GTI seats are relatively comfy compared to what you have, and you can pick a set up for about £50 too.  :cool:

Well that sounds reasonable to me then. I'll keep an eye out for a set going around my area.

Not entirely Mk3 related, but I got a little present today as a result of comparethemarket.com.  :grin:

Finally got my lock repaired thanks to Murraymint's heads up and guide. I went to pick the piece up from a small office in Poplar where I found a very quiet man who gave me a discount. Nice man  :smiley:

This is the culprit right here...




Now I can finally lock my door again from the driver's side  :grin:
