Dropped my tintop into Laharts VW on friday for the week to help promote our Ireland Tour next weekend. Some pics of it on display.

Looks well mixing with the newer stuff.  :thumbs:

Your mk1 looks as stunning as ever Hugh, and at home in the showroom just as it would have when new.  I'm sure it will get lots of attention, probably a lot more than its modern counterparts. Centre caps all lined up - nice.

Haven't updated this thread for a while…

Still have the tintop!

Being doing a few bits and still a few more to do.

Sold the BBS RM's as couldn't keep air in them and bought these for a slightly different look. What do you think?

Ok so another little update on this wee motor - decided to go back to the bbs rm but with a slight twist on the gold centres. They are mint and new centre caps really finish them off.

I also put the arches and side stripes back on, instantly it made such a different to the look and stance of the car - so I guess they were made for it.  :thumbs:

Off to Dubshed in Belfast this weekend - should be good.

Few pics of the car detailed - inside, under the bonnet and outside! IMG_3727.JPG IMG_3731.JPG IMG_3734.JPG IMG_3737.JPG IMG_3742.JPG IMG_3743.JPG IMG_3747.JPG

So the tintop picked up a top twenty award at Dubshed 2017 - needless to say I am delighted and the response and feedback on the car was great.

Just a few pictures…
