Bought a MK3. So have I done the right thing?
« on: 13 March 2006, 21:56 »
As per my post in VW related, I've just bought a Dragon Green MK3 N reg on 130K 3 door 8v for £1000. Really good condition, couple of marks to tidy up, but that's it. Totally standard at the moment.

Will get some pics up on the weekend. So does it sound like a good buy or have I been fleeced?  :huh:

Cool  :cool: Brand new ticket on it and it passed first time  :smiley:

I'm thinking.....

lowered 40mm
tasteful 17's
M3 smoked rear lights
Debadged front grill
MK4 front lights

  :undecided: As you can see from my cab I'm not usually into big alloys, thought 17's on a MK3 wouldn't look too big, perhaps it's back to the think tank! This is all new to me, so need to take more notice of MK3's at the shows  :wink:

I just think that big alloys don't always look better, and slow the car down. I also like to see a badge on the front. De-badged looks like there's something missing thats all  :undecided:

Yeah Audi rims do look nice on some MK3's. I'm getting all excited now  :grin:

The Anniversary wheels off the MK3 look alright, I'm not sure but the std 16's off the A3 1.8T sport might be the same PCD and are 16's, like those a lot.  You need 100 PCD, if the Audis don't fit hey will be 112 PCD.  What about the MK4 GTi Montreal II's??
