So either way he wants 2010 on so he'll have plastic endtanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did the restriction ring in dump pipe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAZ Member 17 Member For: 12y 2m 14d Posted 01/11/12 09:26 PM Share Posted 01/11/12 09:26 PM Yes they are a few of them around the $35k mark, hence why I said in my original post that there are some good prices around.Couple of decent 2011 Mk1's but they don't have premium sound, are a colour I am not interest in or are manual........For those of you that say the Mk2 front looks wrong, have a look at Fletty's Mk2 or get some new glasses looks nice, like the mk2 front lights and bottom fog light area, still dont know why they made the airdam so busy lookin, that's the thing I dont like, pic above looks nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise it was smaller than euro 3's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went and had a look at a few Mk2's today and all Nov or Dec 2011 build and first registered to FMC in Feb 2012. Dealer was oblivious to the situation when I questioned them. All seemed dodgy to me.
