Update lol well was still driving round in golf battle scar an all until one day went around corner and headlight lense departed from car lol. Now apparently due to me having ( or had ) the mk4 look alikes can still drive legally but if bulbs get wet they'll blow lol making it illegal again! :) ya gonna luv this bit lol. Had to resort to pinching my mam's F reg 1l automatic micra now being 6foot2 this looks ridiculous lol so kids gone Friday so off to scrap yard for standard pair for now :)happy New year people

Recent exploits :) i bought pair of gti headlights of e.bay 40quid delivered. But as usual I'm not that lucky when they arrived every reflector mount was broken. F,ing cu.ts!   So while enjoying a smoke i came up with the plan lol i did my mad scientist bit stripped all the lights apart and put the reflectors from the mk4 style lights into the mk3 outer and have successfully mated the pair :) they have a stock but not look lol not a bad end to the day :) next a bit of panel beating
