What to do with my US-spec Mk III ?
« on: 28 April 2009, 08:27 »
So it appears I've been receiving a lot of offers for my US tailgate and bumpers.
As the car's 15 years old with 121k miles it's tempting to sell and start a new project.
Thoughts ?

I would keep it, something different.

If however you do break it I would list the tailgate on ed38 they go mad for them on there.

Keep it as it is, seriously.

My Highline came with a Fischer CD holder, easily available off ebay, but I know they're quite rare so I refuse to sell mine. So many people get annoyed when I tell them it's not for sale

If you do decide to sell I'll have a few bits off you as I have the same interior just it's a RHD model :P

break it

put the bumpers and tailgate on ed38, the scene tax will earn you good money

Guy the drinks holders are avaliable online for about 10 quid plus the same delivery from the states but they are for left hand drive cars so dont fit perfect in a RHD console
