Title: Mk3 convertible hood problems/replacements
Post by: Lee Watson on 10 May 2007, 09:14: Hi All :smiley:

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m currently looking at buying a MK3 Golf convertible for my partner.

Do you have any idea how much it would cost to replace the hood? :rolleyes:

Also is there anything I should look for that can be a problem. :shocked:

Thanks for your help

Lee

As for what to look for, not sure on a mk3 but get her a mk1 convertible, they look so much better. :wink: There may be some info the mk3 section on what to look for though, so do a search in there. If you are wanting a mk3 then there's user RandomJord on here selling one (or he was the other week), so have a look in the for sale section and he's just done loads to it and got bored of it so selling it at a very reasonable price too. :smiley:

I don't even know if it's still for sale, but Jords mk3 cab is here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=57535.0 I've even done the hard work for you. :smiley:
