Wabit: The Fog light is yours mate. Just need to work out P&P out to Aus.
Do Aus spec Mk1's not come with fog lights?

Update on progress: Went out to garage today, spent several hours tidying up, then looked at my neglected lawn and ended up cutting the grass instead. Urgh. Booking a week off work soon to get stuck into it!

that's the spirit! summer will be there before you know it!

We never got fog lights out here in Aus. Basically cause we don't get that much fog really! In Melbourne, we normally only get a handle full of days that have really thick fog, ie real hard to drive in. We get lots of other foggie mornings, but generally they're quite bareable!

Basically every car over here has to have one for its MOT (Rego) that was built past a certain age, so technically i should have one fitted but as i'm going for the smoothed look i don't really want it.
Wabit, your right mine is a GTI. What you read about the cabrios only having them probably ties in with what i just said above. As they didn't make a mk2 cabrio and kept selling the mk1 cabrio over here its the only model with the fog light. As the mk1 cabrio was built after they stopped selling the mk1 tin tops.

Jarred: The 9 days i spent in Melbs whilst travelling i would have needed a fog light! Ha ha ha. The weather was terrible whilst i was there, waves crashing over the pier down at the beach! Then on the way out my brother and i got lost heading towards Canberra in the Dandenong Forest, drove for 5 hrs only to come back out onto a main road with a sign saying something like "Melbourne 30k".

Here begins my week off work and look what i got today. Ebay special. Only wanted it for the chrome trim.



Also work has started in the garage. Here is my start of the week engine shot. Should start to look a bit different by Friday!

Sticking with the same engine altho smoothing the bay and loosing things will be difficult with the K-Jet. I've already put in a fast road cam, k&n filter, upgraded the injectors etc.
I'm just now trying to work out what i can loose/relocate. If i take out the skuttle panel section then i will really need to remove the heater matrix, which means no blower for the screen, which over here is very needed. Especially as this was the view i had in the back garden this morning! About an inch of snow with more falling. Nice when its April!

Very nice build you got going there. It looks a bit chilly over there atm!

I agree with Jarred - I like the A3 wheels with out the centres! The looked the goods!
