The rest of a MK3 ... :laugh:

IIRC, if its a widetrack MK3, I don't think they fit, the narrow track one should I think.

The MK2 G60 roll bar swaps on, but dealer prices are shocking. IIRC, the Ibiza roll bar (around 1998) is only about £45 from the dealers, is the same thickness and swaps on to a MK2 (probably with new drop links).

There's a set of Eibach ARBs (front and rear) for sale on Ed38 for £70 - bargain :D

depends what mk3 one you get. if its 4 stud it'll bolt straight on, if its a 5 stud it wont.  also depending on the size of the bar you may need to change the inner and/or outer bushes.

ibiza bars also fit but all NLA from dealer
