first pics of my new mk3 16v

[Overseer]

not the best pics in the world... i will take some real nice ones soon..

u can see on the bonnet the cars really really dusty, but on the side+back shots u can see how the metallic black sparkles at night.. nice leather interior (the front seats are heated)




its real clean, had 1 prev owner, leather is all fine, so is other interior trim, full history etc... well chuffed

well sorted motor could do with it in my collection to get 1 of each mk! got a mk2 8v 3dr black, got a mk4 20v 3dr black, just need a black mk1 and 3 and a 5 when they get out and ive got em all

[Overseer]

^ would be a nice pic!  


btw.. if anyone notices anything non standard pls do point it out!

i know the rear lights and the side repeaters are smoked

[MK316V]

Looks nice. That leather interior looks non-standard so if you want to swap it for my cloth interior let me know  

[Overseer]

lol

You don't hang about overseer! Must be new car happiness ......i remember it well

You wanna get some nice mats down in those footwells........and a vr6 chin spoiler!

Whats the red splodge above your glove compartment?

[Overseer]

hehe  

those mats are pretty nice, they look kinda dusty there :/ (had to brighten pics coz was so dark) ...lol at chin spoiler .. service interval is soon, its the full one, plus cam belt change time.. so gotta do that first. ice will be sorted after this w/e.. partial transplant from my old car seems painless + new headunit due tomorrow

dont remember putting anything on the dash while i was out there, so i think the slodge is from a street light thats just outside my neighbours

hoping if first phase of ice install goes ok sat morn can take the car and get some better shots of it.. my mate gets his v6 4motion next week.. we're gonna do a run up onto exmoor/valley of the rocks and come across the moors, you can see for miles and miles up there.. hope to get some good shots there too!

looks v. nice overseer, very rare car that with black leather.

you may be interested in a feature I wrote in Volkswagen Driver magazine issue 13 June 2001.
It was about a family from Wadebridge who own 3 Mk3 16v's!

There also a model history section about the Mk3 16v.

Worth getting your hands on, you can order via their web site www.autometrix.co.uk or email mail@autometrix.co.uk

[Overseer]

thanks for the heads up!.. that issue sounds right up my street!

but would u believe the back order link doesnt work!.. sucks huh!

so i called em up and got it

mmmmm very nice with the leather, get used to the dust tho, black needs so much TLC to keep minty.

My 16v has a GTi badge as well as the 16v.......dunno why?
