hello from a newbie

hello just joined the group with first vw golf mk1 cabriolet its very tidy but want to change roof to black i think and new black alloys and also tune engine bait its 1.8 8v any recommendations to places to buy from and best bits to buy
 or would you recommend keeping original like it is a 2 owner from new standard ???  thoughts please thank you new team mates 

Welcome to the club !!

All whites are pretty rare now
See the brochure here:

You can get a new roof in black pretty easily, have a look through our discount partners.

Wheels are a personal choice :-)

I would make sure that the engine is giving what the factory intended first, a good service with new plugs etc. after that a k&n air filter or a freer flowing exhaust - check you insurance first though.

It's down to you I guess as you will be living with it, but you don't see an all white very often now, if it was me I would keep it original as possible - maybe some bigger wheels but in Silver.

Quite a rare thing so I would keep it original, or at least keep any bits you change so you can put it back to standard should you ever sell it.

welcome to the fold

 its all personal preference with changes and upgrades, if you do anything make sure to store the orginal bits so it can be put back to standard.

thank you everyone so much for advice didn't relies it was so rare,been out in it today and defo turned a few heads and certainly picks its feet up i will defo keep the white roof on then from you advice
i will update as i go along smartening the new family member up !!

Hi.welcome aboard  

A very warm welcome to the Club!

As others have said, it's fairly rare so please keep it original, you won't regret it!  

whites are getting rare in good condition.. keep its original look and if time get hard, use as a wedding car.. i was looking for a good white one but in the end failed
 lol

Welcome aboard,
Summer soon be here so enjoy it, roofs  need looking after too, so make sure you clean it and use a good protection like 303 areospace for vinyl.
Enjoy.

If your planning work on the car start a project post in the your projects forum, so we can keep an update of your progress.
Cheers
