Title: Parts for my mk1
Post by: Neil16vMK1 on 17 May 2004, 23:36: Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I have just bought my mk1 Gti Campaign with 16v conversion. As most 21 yr old cars, it needs some attention and I was wondering who is a good VW parts stockist for this type of car? Preferrably in the south east area.

Many thanks and I hope I am welcome. :)

Of course you are welcome, glad to have you on board. You can do a lot worse that using Stuart from Eurocarparts for most of your parts:-

I am chuffed to bits with the 16v mk1! Its a Lhasa Green Campaign with a few more bits on it too.

You may have seen it last yr @ GTI international A***GBF before i had it, couldnt make it this yr as MOT ran out the thursday before! ARRGH!

In particular im looking for a rear bumper and the interior sunroof beading if anyone know of someone who has.

Cheers,

Neil

Post by: Neil16vMK1 on 21 May 2004, 00:45: It passed its MOT without a problem! makes me laugh that a 21 yr old car can do that yet my 5 year old punto GTT cant! heheh oh well, teaches me for buying cheap italian metal!

Im afraid its gonna be all questions from me about the mk1 being new, but i can answer for the mk2 as ive had one for a few years and carried out various work on it.,
