differences compared to what...?
hasn't the electric antenna been standard anywhere in the world?
apart from the fugly rear foglights (like we have in Germany too), headlight washers and electric antenna were standard on all german MKIIIs as well as on swiss MKIIIs, so if you didn't have them down there at all, I guess it's possibly a Euro thing (i.e. not only UK) ? :dunno:

MK3's were different all over the world. Even between Canada and the US there are quite a few differences. Europe never got TEMS, they also had the rear fogs, and a lot of other stuff (adjustable headlight positioning, etc).

Nowhere outside of Europe got the rear fogs, and nowhere outside of North America got the rear side markers, and as such, the tail light wiring is different too.

In North America, all MK3's had electric antennas. In Canada, we only got TEMS up until 1990, after that we got heated seats in Turbo models, but the US never got heated seats. We also didn't get the airbag until 91, and we never had the anti-theft system (the US was the only place to get it ever).

Canada got headlight washers up until 92, but the US didn't get them after 88. Since we have LHD, a lot of the wiring will be different too, connectors, connector locations, relays, etc, etc.

Good luck though, it's a noble cause ;), but there's a TON of differences, and I don't think LHD UK wiring diagrams will help us North American guys too much. (Or other European guys either really, since outside of England, Europe is LHD).
