Love the last shot mate. Does your rear hatch not have a little spoiler by the roof? It wasn't that clear in the pics.......

Looking forward to getting PGA and Grace together for some comparison shots.

no i have basic cl glass in my tailgate so they could get rid of the spoiler and i also have a fiat punto rear wiper, i didnt even realise about the rear spoiler when i bought it in fact i didnt even realise for a couple of days.
we will have to get a little photo shoot going down , get the comps fitted :thumbs:

the mack2 now does not smoke on startup and now has brakes that work properly
valve guide oil seals done along with new headgasket (obviously) it was also nice to have comfirmed that it does indeed have a ported and polished head and the bores are spot on , not bad for an engine thats done 236,000 miles ,, big up the vdub :D
brakes were a simple fix , rubber seals on the master cylinder were screwed and the difference is amazing after changing them , no spongy pedal and they lock up when stamped on :thumbs:

well the thread should be changed to 'golf fetish'
originally i bought this mk3 for the abf engine for jaffa but its turned out to be an alright little motor , comes with full unripped black heated leather aircon abs airbags electric everything , 11months mot and few months tax
anyway long story short the wife has nicked it for the daily duties

Greedy boy :)

Go for the CSL route with the mk2. Bucket seat, harness, strip the rear, leave the front interior, better suspension and brakes. Bosh done :D

That means you can flog the E46 mate. That will fund a few bits.
