Post by: benji mk2 on 15 January 2005, 15:06

 Does anyone know where I can find some pictures of all of the original MK1 colours? My car is going to the bodyshop next week and I still haven't decided what colour to have it sprayed>

Excuse the matt effect in a few of the pictures, greens don't sit too well ontop of red cars.

 :wink:

Had a play with a few other colours for you, let me know if you want anymore done.

The orange looks like the one in the new Golf+ magazine. A real 70's classic colour. Needs to be blinged up with a bit of chrome detailing to work well though. Too much black will make it look a bit naff.

I'll be honest I'm not much of an orange fan! Thinking more and more about some sort of green. Got two weeks to decide  :undecided: Dont suppose anyone knows of any chrome bumpers going any where?
