Thats a really nice car i like it, how much where the audi door handles including getting them welded in etc?

Thats a really nice balance. A very smart car!

ah ha! I do believe we passed you on the M1 yesterday in Alexg40's car? Infact I have a nice little video lol! I thought it pulled well considering it was badged up as a CL.

Yeah, this looks cock-on on the road, good stuff! :-D

I'm not sure how much my door handles were,i had them for christmas off my fella. it went to his garge for a service and came back with them on.

she is gt now but didnt wanna take my cl badges off :-)

your car looked gorgeous mate (alexg40s) i wasnt driving her too hard,just cruised back :-)

Recently done the GT conversion to my CL, and its completely transformed the car. Certainly a worthwhile mod and something worth doing if you like the car like you obviously do. Really nice :thumbsup:

i like the colour too, thats what made me buy it. the 4 speed box and no sunroof put me right off. then i drove it and fell in love. bought a 5speed within a week of owning her and haven't looked back since. I'm on my 3rd engine and 3rd set of wheels. now were running a 1.6 I'm happy. think ill definately be keeping her till she dies :-)

Real nice Mk3 you got there looks like you have done a fair bit of tinkering too ...

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like in a few months going by the sound of things ..

I'm sorry to say this but my baby is dead!!!

I had an accident in her about 3 weeks ago now and its a write off.

Bent all the chassis and caved the front end in. ill get saf to post up the pic i sent him, i cant do it. I'm still sad!!!

Bought a GT now. put all my bits in that. 1.6 engine, 260mm brakes and all the other bits too. just not my doors yet, thay need painting.

Ill still be coming polo show so if anybody wanted to look at my engine conversion it'll be there.
