thats because it can cover up its shape, so bright colours are good on a mk1 in my opinion, darker colours probably look smarter, but it stands out more in a brighter colour…
my 2 pence anyway….im chuffed to bits with the colour

set of VAG flag mirrors, wanted a set to finish it off, but didnt fancy spending 50 quid…
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/696321/DSC00135.jpg)
3 quid from the breakers, not bad if you ask me, cleaned them up and painted the metal in primer then satin hammerite on the bottom…ended up like this…

taking old 'clevis pin?' off the back of the old servo…note the master tool…blowtorch,
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/698462/DSC00143.jpg)
Then took this fork, cleaned up my servo with wire wheel on grinder, and loads of coats of Satin Black hammerite, so it doesnt go crusty in a hurry again, and then my new G60 master cylinder from GSF
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/698462/DSC00144.jpg)
Then had the beautiful job of waxoyling the underside in the rain, im layign this on real heavy so i wont be doing it again in a hurry, not much point wearing gloves either, cos this happens…
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/698462/DSC00150.jpg)
Horrible job but ive got to do it at some point, may as well be in the dark, in the rain, on a wet gravel drive in january, as its ideal conditions….
THE BEST PART BY FAR…..
