Tempted to buy another mk3 to make it the Harlequin look KINDA!! for summer next year. my plan will be over the months buy different colour panels and put them all on. and do something to the interior to. i might not even lose any money on the project as when i buy a panel i can try sell a panel from the car
each side of the car will have to match ie red front door either side, blue at the back, ... yes going 4 doors. Bumpers i can spray easy.
anyways am i crazy or could i pull this off? with a nice stance i think it be a fun summer car.
-
Don't harlequins follow a special pattern depending on the base colour, I think there was 4 different types,
Not a big fan to be honest
-
Was something i was going to do a year or two back. Never did, it's still something i would love to do but won't as i'm going to sell it.
I say go for it, there is one build i saw in Scotland which is the best ever. If i can find it again it will defo be an inspiration!

this site may help you

although why not look for the real thing, be even more special....
-
Go for it mate, I keep toying with the idea, but just can't bring my self to doing it :laugh:
-
would go for the real thing but i expect they are really hard to find. and this is way it could be more fun.
thanks for the lnks and good feedback was expecting a lot of hate after i posted it :huh: but yeah imma doing it lol.

This is all you ever need to see when it comes to building an Harlequin. If you can make yours half as good as this then you have a real nice one :cool:
-
Go for it Mate they are well cool do a one off in your own colours or get a base car to match an original base colour and copy the panel pattern from one in that colour

Thinking use all original vw colours from other mk'3s so will be like Harlequin. then get the seats done and steering will (cover lol)
just debating to use my current mk3 and buy a gti or buy another 1.4. ahwell all will start after the summer.
-
Use the 1.4 the blue is one of the colours you need isnt it? And your cups will look cool on it.
-
true, let all meet up swap part lol. jokes.

Very rare now but keep an eye out for a MOMO Benetton F1 Team tribute steering wheel and there was a matching gearknob too.

That's ridiculous, its not even anything special.

Agreed, that is stupid money.
Reference the Harlequin look it has to be a 5 door as the base car, 3 doors look all wrong.

Back in the early '90's every accessory shop had these, they were very common but come the end of the '90's nobody wanted them and I imagine they all went in the bin!!! :sad:
