Hi JB,

I posted this back in Feb:
http://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=members-lounge_2%2Ffound-a-vw-golf-parts

But that's for members, so if anyone wants to try this Company in France they are welcome.
Very friendly and they do post Internationally.

You can write to them in English which helps.
People may find something they need!

Who can forget good ol' www.cabby-info.com

i've updated the top post with the websites

any more hidden gems out there

I bought some door cards form a place up north called Retro-Retrims. They were really good, they have a ebay shop and the guy does loads of work on mk1 golfs, he has retrimmed seats by salvaging orginal cloth and all sorts.
I am no way affiliated with him, just a happy customer and noticed that he's always trimming interiors for mk1 golfs.

This is the absolute HOLY GRAIL here: MK1 FUSE BOX LAYOUT
http://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=electrics_2%2Ffuze-box-wiring-layout_2

Also a classic…  answer for that popular question "will these wheels fit?"

Also for silly boys and girls who like their tyres to look like anal prolapses…

Crazy Quiff's?

Also this guy on ebay called chubut9999
that operates the GPC VW shop. Have bought loads of of trim from him in the past.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/

Have bought a few things recently from Chubnut99 off eBay and he has been spot on. I would recommend him.

Me too, Smudge - quick delivery and decent prices.

I can also recommend www.classiccarpartsdirect.co.uk  

That's reminded me about CBS - car builder solutions

Loads of cool stuff here. Grommets, springs, wiring - if you need to bodge something - here's your site!

Chubnut or GPC as they are known.
Nearly everything he sells are still available from the dealers.The price he starts the auction at 9 times out of 10, is the price you can buy it from the dealers.
Save a few quid and pop to your local dealer.

Anyone know any good websites or how to put 16v fuel set up on a mk1 8v ? Also the fuel pump an accumilater brackets mine are missing ? 

Heres a few sites I've come across:

Impress you boss with your spooks style typing……..

http://hackertyper.com/

Press caps lock three times or alt three times after doing some random typing!!

Here's a site that will tell you lots of useful info on build date. It has a vin decoder and gives month of build info. Also lots of other useful info. It seems like a German equivalent of this site.
