its not a double post, i posted the first one and thought it a little random, so felt the need to justify!

Can't be a clipper - Y reg = 1982/3. Clippers only started in 87 or whatever. There seems to be loads of cabbys being broken at the moment. Their values have crashed somewhat, not helped by the price of scrap steel at an all time low too.

that's my car thats an 83, which is a tintop. This clipper wasn't being broken either. It had been broken by some joy riders by the looks of things! All smashed up unnecessarily…shame

sorry but it's not a clipper kit
clipper was a model, which was done with both small plastic bumpers and later on, large plastic bumpers.
these bumpers/bodykits were also found on late GTIs etc, but they're not referred to as GTI kits
1983 Polo CL - daily
1984 Golf G60 Syncro - sold
1989 Rallye Golf - sold
1992 Corrado G60 - crushed
1989 Polo C - chopped and crushed
1991 309 Style - crushed

Since they're almost universally referred to as clipper kits, I don't really think there's any harm in it. It's not like you'd say "clipper kit" to somebody, only to be met with a blank stare in return.

your words.
i only used the word "clipper" so that people knew what i was referring to.
i never meant it to mean that it was in some way special/aftermarket.
so whats the problem?

BPC518Y has now settled in a static 'travellers' site in Blackburn!!!
It looks in pretty good codition, twin headlamp grille but has towing straps on the bonnet suggesting that something isn't quite right.
I saw it yesterday and came in to work today to have my mate on the next desk say 'you seen that mk1 on the G*po site?' qiuck as a flash I said yes - never one not to know about a Mk1 in my town!!
Who sold it then?
