Mine has oval indicators but I still had to weld the hole up
-
Get ones without the hole and relocate that aerial inside the inner wing like mine. Mine is tucked away out of sight and gives good reception. The one on my roof is just for show. Don't know why it was changed as it was done when I bought it :undecided:

-
£450 you've been ripped off mate :grin:

-

make sure you take pics of this.. as i have a wing ariel too ( also an M reg) its not the coolest thing making your teenage son hang out the windw to pull it up for a better reception :grin:
-
Im sure you can get the proper shaped grommets from the main dealer.
-
Not enough doors bud.... mine will have the deeps on it this weekend so post a pic for you to get you all inspired!!!! Lol
-
Look forward to seeing the pics mate.
I was really considering some deep dish cookie cutters as iv been offered some. But looking at the ET of them and they will need adaptors think the fronts will poke to much.
-
Everything that is on your to do list is what you already had done to your other Mk3... Why did you get rid! :grin:
-
why has this been moved out of the mk3 section?

i will do if it shines like the south coast weather should be and not this northern rain bollox...
I personally think cookies would look wrong, get some genuine staggered fuchs instead (oh hello, look what i've found in my garage!!!!)..

5 pages and no mods/pics yet :grin: :shocked:
if u getting looking like ur old mk3 neil will look sweet
-
Have I missed something, but what happened to to the black mk3? Bargin for picking up this one for £450 though :) and on the wing aerial front, if you get an early vento wing, you can loose the aerial hole as well as keep the early style side repeater :) that's what I did (although still not fitted) and then relocated the aerial to to the roof!

If you need any bits, or a 16v engine set up, let me know!
