Sorry guys, i didnt mean to offend anyones car. I just really hate the look of MK2's. From the back, they don't look bad at all, but it's just that terrible grill. I think it makes the car look very old and quite ugly.

Is there anyway to change the head lights on a MK2 to look like an MK3?

I don't own a car at the moment, but i'm looking for an MK3. Got about £850 to spend. Any idea's?

BTW, its a first car, so 1.4 maximum.

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 :grin:

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? :shocked:

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

I paid £400 for my valver to a dude who had stripped its factory black leather...and so mine had 4 door seats (no recline) and a mix of rainbow and stripey box trim. would love to get another leather interior but jeez they aint cheap  :undecided:

In my opinion, they look terrible. So square and ugly. The front grill looks like a peice of scrap with a few round :sick: headlight slapped on.

again, only my opinion

Ok fair enough point.
I'd have a mk1/2 if they had more modern security features. Most importantly of all an airbag. TBH the MK3 is 'square' and is less attractive than a mk1 or 2.

I'm sure you know that German cars are very big, square, good quality and very Germanic. Even the new ones ! That's the appeal I think. They're very unique.

French cars are cheap, tinny, disposable, common, never trust the electrics !, Very typically French in sleek style (to the point of being a ladies car!), and to he honest I wouldn't give them a a second look.

Only my opinion mind ! :smiley: :wink:
