Yep they should be the same. I don't know EXACTLY but they look the same, and there should be no reason for them being different. I guess just make sure you get the front ones for a 4 door, not 2 door (even then I think they're the same).

Regulator group buy?
I'm pretty sure you can get at least one order from every mk3 owner on this site :), I'd be up for two... or three...

That doesn't sound too bad. My rear driver's side has broken a few times now. How much are they from GAP?

5door front regs are the same part as the 3door and will fit both cars.
Same part for the Cabrio/Vento/Variant too
