thanks

iv just paid ?5.69 for 2 hoops and clips from VW

hi all its a long time since i posted some pics but its 99% done now

that looks very nice, looks like all the hard graft has paid off. good job  

the wheels/colour/bumpers are good combination and really set it off.

looking good mate - just got me another mk1 yesterday - cleaning up nice but needs the boot spraying - i'm in preston - which body shop did you use and would you recommend them?

my new project - no plastic arches - quite like the look without so may leave them off.




my daily drive - may see you around
