Hi Im new!

Hey there, Im new i have just purchased a mk1 golf Gti (mars red) my mum and girlfriend hate the colour so im thinking of getting it resprayed as really im not keen on it myself, its has a few mods done to it, but the body work is A1 and there is no rust! i am so impressed Based in Farnborough/Camberley area wanting to know more about the car and where to go next with it.

HI Vex,

Good to see you here.  lots of advice and help and quite a few people near you I think.

Cheers

Rich

Oh yeah, I recognise that story

I bought a red mk1, had it for a year before finally admitting red was not my colour.

I sold it and bought a black one!

Feel a little twinge when I see red ones but I made the right decision.

Ah ok, well i was/am a member of the Peugeot Gti forum and used to go out quite abit to meets and events. I guess there will be a similar setup perhaps here?

The Mars red is ok, but i just printed out a black mk1 Gti with the colour coded clipper it on it and im in love. I don't think i will want to search for another Mk1 because mine is mint, no rust, no welding 3k for a full respray then i think

I decided to go for a golf after my garage (the phirm) were talking about all there project work and how good the cars are to work on, and the engineering is sound. They found a guy who had one and here i am now!

I love the drive of the car, speed just when you need it.

Thank you for your kind welcome!

And what's wrong with Mars Red?  :evil:  

Horses for courses I guess. I specifically wanted a Mars Red Golf. Welcome aboard anyway!

Cheers,

I must say that, so long as you like a red car in the first place, Mars Red is probably the best red colour of any car - not too "stodgy" like Mk2 Tornado Red, and just on the orange side of "Royal Mail Red" to be noticeably vibrant and sporty.

My first Golf ('82 1.3 CL) was Mars Red, and I never got so many compliments from passers-by as when I had it resprayed (in the same colour)…

Be aware, Vex, that changing the colour of a car (from anything to anything else) usually devalues it somewhat.
