Mk1 Golf fibreglass panels?
« on: 22 October 2008, 01:03 »
Alright guys, i've a Mk1 Golf GTi here and rather than replace the rusty doors  etc., i'm thinking of replacing every panel possible with fibreglass items.

So was wondering if theres a good UK supplier of these? I'm talking fibregglass doors, tailgate, possibly wings and preferably Group H/Club Berg style arches?

Also theres glass missing from this golf and was thinking of getting some polycarb items instead.... is there any good suppliers of these?

i had checked ebay and found some guy in Czech Republic making them, but must have missed this guy from the UK. Its really the doors i'm after but not keen on getting them from the Czech Rep  :undecided:
