Look OK, but would be far nicer as a 5 door.

I often wake up in the morning regeting not buying a 5 door. Then I could have gone to shops and took people to school and looked like a real teenage dad.

Raffa and greens clearly no what your on about
You other two go take your extra doors to and go do some practical shopping or taking kids to school.
Team 3 door!!

Look OK, but would be far nicer as a 5 door.
Completely disagree, the 3 door looks 100% better with the cleaner lines.
LOL, you're new here aren't you...
I have been lurking but clearly not paying enough attention :laugh:

Check out this gem...
3 doors are loads better IMO. the 5 doors look dog awfull IMO, just hate it when u see a nice mk5 then realise its a 5 door.
my 3 door has loads of space, loads and loads of room in the back, im 6"3 and loads of room even with seat back. also loads of room for shagging in the back.
If you want a 5 door buy a mondeo. ;)

Great mods!
Quick question, the OEM privacy glass has a green tint to it. Do you know what shade of tint you got on the front windows and who tinted them?
It looks like they managed to get the shade to match the OEM very well.
-
Hey up. Don't no the shade but was done middlewich tint styling, search them on facebook
-
also update on some carbon fiber parts.. got the door cards off atm as a fair few parts getting sorted.
