Legend! If only my anni was a 5 door we could part exchange plus cash!

Part Exchange lol 

5 door?? I dont need a 5 door lol?

I'm unsure what to go for next is my problem lol, I work for VW / AUDI / SKODA / SEAT for the last 10 years and have had MK3's before and i know these a getting rarer by the day. i have major ocd with my cars so as you can see its looked after and have had alot spent on it like:

- Bonnet Lifters
- 6R Polo Aerial Mast
- VW Wheel Nut Covers
- VW Alloy Wheel Centre Caps
- Front Bumper Smoked Indicators
- Front Bumper Smoked Reflectors
- Front Bumper Smoked Fogs
- Smoked Wing Repeaters
- Number Plate Lamps
- Black Genuine Badges Front & Back
- 16V Grille Badge
- Satin Black Grille Slats
- GTI Valve Caps
- Headlights
- Battery
- Tailored Rubber Mats

- Brand new rear screen been fitted due to wiper scratches which really annoyed me lol
- Oil Cooler & Gaskets & Pipes, Oil Filter Housing Gaskets, Oil Seperator Gasket, Cylinder Head Water Flange, Oil Pressure Sensors, Coolant Flushed And Replaced With G12, Oil Castrol Magnatec 5/40 Used & Filter Change!!! Alot of these parts werent needed but seen as work was been done in that area might as well have all new lol.

I bought it to nearly concours but still driveable, it hasnt seen dirt since my ownership put it that way!!!
It still needs a few things doin in my eyes but detailed things like:

- Repaint the calipers to freshen them up
- Fit my 5mm spacers on the back
- BBS Centre Caps
- I Also have the original red grille slats too if wanted to change back
- Paint the inside of the headlight surrounds black to match the grille and the others all round

ETC

Thanks Steve

I'm major OCD with my cars too, and everything you've done to yours is what I would have done to it (except the head unit) I just want one so bad, it's my dream car and has been for a very long time. I thought I would be happy with the 8v but it only took a matter of months before my 16v obsession came back.

Although I've not had my 8v for long I've done a few bits here and there that are quite OCD. Tell you what, when I get home tonight I'll put up a post of my car so you can have a look, it's not as nice as yours but part exchange plus 1k?

Thanks for the offer but 8v wouldnt cut it for me either as this was a 8 month search lol so it would have to be cash only. my next move would either be a MK2 16V in atlas grey, Audi TT 225, Ibiza Cupra 2001 shape, 3.2S Boxster 

Thanks.

1 question. Is it your dream car?

lol, My dream car is somethin porsche (996  ) but would settle for a boxster 3.2s to work my way upto that level. soft spot for a MK2 16V 90 spec 3dr in atlas grey is what i use to look upto when i was little as it was what my dad was into.

[Mk3obessed]

Well your car is my dream car so you could make someone's dreams come true haha you should always go for the car that you looked up as a little boy. All my mates laugh about me with mk3's and 16v anni's especially, I just remember going car shopping my my mum as a little boy and seeing a red 16v in the showroom (wasn't an anni tho but still) she ended up buying an escort

[snozan]

I just realized i was 19, -96 What i remember MK3 was just like a Golf 7 is today meaning: just a car.

[madmanmart]

I'd say 3k is a ok price for your car spikey.

I was offered 3200 for mine and I couldn't bring myself to part with it.....
 
Mk3s are starting to rise in price as good ones are getting thin on the ground.
