yeah you could with a lot of grafting i suppose. why you would wanna make your design icon of a mk2 look like a thames barge is beyond me tho 
opinions are fine mate but for a second post thats a bit ott!!
try and get as late a model mk3 as u can as ive heard the early ones are a bit prone to rust n leccy probs. should be able to get something for 850 tho.
on the other hand u could get a mint (ish) mk2 if u searched around for that money..........
Apprecaite the advice mate, but I'm strongly against the look of the mk2. My ideal car would be something like a Peugeot 206, or an Golf mk4 if i could afford it, so that should give you the kind of picture i'm aiming for. Although an MK3 may not be as stylish as a 206, it's certainly not bad for the money.
I've been buying the auto trader for 2 months now trying to get a MK3, but i just can't find one i like for my money. I found one the other day, it was perfect, but then after me looking at it, and getting all excited, he phones me and tells me he's not selling anymore?

Appart from the Auto trader + Ebay, wheres the best place to look?
