    does look good ^ yea im expecting abit of welding and cutting, its actualy for my corrado not golf but someone on the corrado forum said that mk3 seats fit in , you just sit a little higher, iv just got to make that decision on wether to try n make them fit or not, either way i would have to buy cloth replacement seats for the audi so i can sell it on,

    iv done this on my corrado, i re located them into the headlamp replaceing the high beam bulb {well i thought it was the highbeam} where im from we dont have MOT so i wasnr bothered, i originaly thought that i would be looseing high beam but that isnt the case, i still have a high beam and my lights are still as bright as before, also the indicators work fine at night with the lights on at the same time, prety simple to fit, iv since replaced the amber bulbs for the clear bulbs

    well finnaly got my drivers door fitted the other day, realy happy with it its almost perfect!, ran into 2 hold ups, first hold up was i sanded through the clear coat as i was trying to remove an imperfection, so had to completley scuff the whole door, re base that area and re clear the door, second hold up , after i closed the door a few times ,my diy tapered stud {the one with the nut welded on top } popped off the latch ,so i had to remove it {strip door back down} and add abit more of a taper ,after 30 harsh slams i can safely say the stud aint going anywhere {pics to come} on to the

    well i noticed on my mk3 theres plastic trim peices which come down the pillar of the windscreen , im prety sure if they werent plastic they would be absolutley soaking wet , the only water i can trace back on mine is a few droplets going up by the bonnet release , i think the drain got blocked and its overflowed down that palstic trim peice and into my footwell, i used an airline to blast down the drain pipe seems ok now, just need the carpet to dry up..but if your suspecting the window to be letting it in, just remove all the trims around the window and inspect the glue from there,

    thanks ash yea exaclty the same paint i used on the door is on the inlet aswell, i keyed it up good and its a fairly solid plastic with no flex , it was already painted by the factory so it already had some sort of plastic adhesion promoter so im not worried about it failing it should hold up good, just cant wait to get my loom back!! heres the stuff, these guys are awesome!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280620898259?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
