Very nice leather in the MK2. I reckon the rear wiper will go round another spline to sit right at the bottom of the window, to finish off the back end.

I like the X reg one, not too many X platers on the road at all.

Still not made my mind up about the citi golf, if they had done a 3 door it might have swung me.....

Could you not have bought a suspension kit for the price of 4 shocks and springs?

Welcome Pete :D

You have some very Cool cars ;)

Hi thanks for all comments, hope to make friends here and to help others and learn alot.
For what it would had cost me for a suspension kit i got the lot in pic shown on trade price's, i forgot about the rear wiper on mk2, that is an older pic, i since replaced it with a fiat punto rear wiper.
I love my 5 drs as the doors are lighter and tend not to hit other cars or walls lol getting in and out, plus i have 2 children, so i have to compromise.
Best wishes
Pete
