Very nice! Love the wheels.

Thought the price was expensive at first but then read on about the conversion. What's it like with the ABF in?

Well coming from a 2002 BMW 330Ci you would think I'd be a bit let down performance-wise. No chance, It absolutely flies!

If that price included the wheels you look to have stolen it at that price! :)

Awesome looking mark 2, got yourself a good deal there I think.

its true what you say about owning a mark 2, other owners nod and flash their lights at you and wave. Something that just doesn't happen with mark 3's.

I miss my mark 2  :sad:

It came as you see in the pic. Like I say though there are a few niggles but this week so far I have bought:

Smoked crystal headlamps (RHD!)
New wiring loom for lights
6000k Bi-xenon HIDs (Missed them loads)
New coilovers and G60 top mounts
Rocker cover gasket

That should keep me busy for Saturday :)
