Bored of my mk3 what would you do ?
« on: 29 July 2012, 17:42 »
I am bored of my electric green 3 door 1997 p reg 2.0 8v gti, its already got full heated leather interier(which is mint), smoked quad headlights, fk coilovers, seat leon 16" black alloys, twin 80mm stainless exhaust and all the gti arch trim removed. I am an electrical contractor who is in and out of work due to agency wayne kerrs. I have now saved up £1200 to spend on either the car or sell the mk3 and get something else ?. What you you do please help ? :undecided:

Find some rare wheels, make them fit with adaptors if needed. Tinker with different colored lights and maybe abc pillar/dash/headliner trim?? There is loads you can do, just got to get your imagination working.

Buy a tidy mk2 shell and stick the Abf in there? might relight the fire so to speak.
