YAY a 5 door!  All us 5 door owners know damn well they look better  :smug:

Its  the same as my new 8 Valve :D accept its cleaner, and has a working gearbox but none the less :D

sadly my mkII purchase was a bit hastey and has been a bit of a nightmare to keep on the road...

this car is everything the mkII isnt.

This car will be like a wife, clean reliable,dependable, no junk allowed in the boot (lol)

my mkII can be my dirty girlfriend, tempramental, unreliable, all greasy with lots of history and high mileage,smells like an ashtray and drinks like a fish, to have dirty weekends with

have to say i prefer the shape of the mkii but the mkiii IS a superior car

MK3 GTi 8valve   Standard (except Big Bore Backbox)
MK2 Gti 16valve  Gmax Shocks slammed to the ground,Estorils, VW factory tints, Jetta front, jetex full s/s exhaust...

ah, the joys

and to think i nearly bought a Ford Focus

Needs some suspension changed, as its a bit soft otherwise on the corners, make sure you get it gripped on the road as of the weight.

Then theres no other essentials, it has all the mod cons XD
