VW heritage REAR WINDOW BLIND! ** PICS ADDED **

Been looking for an original one of these for ages with no luck.

Then I stumbled across these at VW heritage! Literally just come in stock today. Bought myself one. I'll post up pictures once I have it on. http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Blind-Rear-Window-Golf-Mk1-Ivory-WC845501_act_shop.product_pID_137388375_lang_EN_country_GB.htm

Nice one mate. Stick some pics up when you get it fitted

when you get it could you tell me if it is possible to paint it at all? as ive been after a black one for a while and the guys at vwh say they cant stock them in black cheers

Yeah will do, Im sure you'll be able to dismantle it to paint it black. Get it today so will post pictures tonight

thats brilliant cheers.. ive found people who make them but im looking at £250 for a custom made one in black… so be cheaper to spray this if possible

Are you talking spraying the blinds black or the whole thing including the mechanism part?

Here it is, not fitted to the car yet, will do this weekend.

To be honest its pretty simply made, the mark up must be huge! The slats are paper thin, just like office blinds from the 80's that bend easy when you pull them down for peeping through the window . But it works well, its light weight and I'm sure it will look cool in my mk1! I just put the slats in quickly, I think I have them the wrong way round looking at the VW heritage site, but easy and quick to flip round, then will obviously line up all the slats perfectly too. few pics of it, then will post up pics fitted to my car this weekend.

are the slats metal or plastic?

i think you have them the correct way around.

Why...?

Not my cup of tea if im honest, but hey wat wud the worle be like if we all did the same

Metal. Its not the same way round as they have them on the heritage site but will see how it looks when its fitted.

Haha. Well I've come from the Aircooled scene so I like accessories  Plus my car has lots of chrome etc, so think it will suit it. probably wouldnt stick this on a gti for example

I think it looks cool mate.

Thanks mate, not had a chance to put it on yet, will do this week hopefully and will post up pics

That looks mint pal. You fitted it yet? If so, lets have a look at the snaps. Keen to see how it looks!

So funny seeing this as I had this fitted to mine in the late 80's….Look back and wonder why…..
