Just to add to this, my windscreen cracked weekend before last so called my insurance on Tuesday and the RAC glass replacement came out on Wednesday.

I had already told them the registration so they knew which glass, all I had to say was whether it was a blue or green tint.

Two guys came round, one old and one an apprentice type.

The first words after the plesentries were

"This is an import isn't it

?"

"Yes"

"Well the import has the sun strip and the UK version doesn't.

Also, the UK version is a Blue or Gree tint where this looks to be a grey or bronze tint"
Apprentice only words were

"Looks to be a Bronzey Grey tint".

Cue a look from me that promply shut him up.

"Ok, so it's either I have a Clear screen now or wait a while for a proper screen?"

"Erm, no"

"Why"

"This is a mk2 isn't it"

"Yes"

"We've been told to bring a glass for a mk1"

"But I told you registration which puts the car as a 91 and the mark change was 89"

"I know but we were told it's a mk1"

They went away with the Chassis and Model number and a new glass had to be ordered from Mr T.

Moral of story, make sure you tell anyone working on your car EXACTLY what it is.

Also, just for reference, if you buy some wiper blades for a mk2 from Halfords, use the set for 1992-1999.

The other set is 1985-1992 and is obviously wrong for a rev1.
