MK3's are cool, rare and retro :lol: of course I'm not biased at all :roll:

Yes it can be done with some effort and I dont mind saying that the MK5 is probably the best looking out of the 3 marks... Your can knock years off a MK3 by colour coding the bumper, maybe adding some MK5 mirrors, which where a gift from God himself :lol:

Sorry if it came across wrong vana mana :wink:
