Colin Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 mk6 and mk5 (and the mk5b) models have different shape suspension and bits and pieces as this was the biggest issue that was rasied when ford made the mk6 ive read it a few times before, to be honest, save your money for the mk6 if your gonig to ge that, and exercise some self control and don't mod your car unless you intend on keeping it for a long time! Trust me on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
