gti mk1 refurbishing
After an accident I had replaced the front wings anf front panel with imitation parts which have now rusted through. I do not think that original parts are still available and would like your advise re the best aftermarket panels which are currently available.
I also require two front springs preferably original or best available which would get the car back to the original factory ride height and stiffness. The springs I presently have are slightly higher and much stiffer which makes the rear break away with little provocation, not the easiest car to drive fast on a wet road. The rear coils are new and factory supplied. I have new Konis all round.
I lost the GTI emblem on the front grille, this was red on black, unlikely orginals still available, however would rather have a good imintation than nothing.
Upholstery of drivers seat needs redoing. Red on black Cloth, from where can I buy the material.
Thanks guys

Mki Golf GTI restoration.
Still stuck on the front springs as I do not have the originals and do not know the colour code. The rears have two white rings, could I find the color code for the fronts on ths info alone. I have a part number Feder 171.411.105j 952 which I do not know what part it refers to. The rears I think were part No. 531.511.105 A/952. I am not too sure about that.
Chassis Number 17BW 724794 Type 172 332 Engine Number335180.
In the event that you are unable to help, do you know someone who could work it out for me. Thanks
