so a bit of paint to sort along with the missing bits, and a drop / stiffen of 50mm it will do me for a while as my work ride and occasional cadwell tool..

im after the following bits so if any one can help that would be great!!


passenger side front jacking point cover (90 spec 3 door)
golf ball gear knob
leather gear gaiter
oe orange side repeaters (pair)
gti badges that go on 90 spec door trims

cheers!!.... will get some more pics soon, has had after market gear gaiter / knob fitted back in the day (red leather yuk!!), and a red/ black steering wheel which was also fitted from when i can remember, but is a univeral boss so i can soon change that for something a bit more tastefull! , has has the head ported and polished years ago when the headgasket went, but has probably done less than 1000 miles since then, and has had ne wcamblet etc just done even though it was done during head work, has full stainless scorpion system with upswept pipes which were cool in the day, not so much now, but sounds nice and frees a few ponies, modded the airbox today and fitted diffo panel filter and made no end of difference, rainbow interior is spotless, not a fray or wear mark anywhere... fitted a mp3 headunit today as the face fromt he sony minidisc headunit (how old!! lol) has gone missing so no use to me!! shame as it would have been very retro-ish and haing a decent 10 disc changer in the boot with all the cables seems a shame but hey ho!!

not doing a 'mods' as such other than putting all the missing bits back and back to standard looking and a subtle stiffen n drop

did look on the sticker in the boot today thom but cant remember the code! , im not gonna guess cause all i have in my head is my mrs's beetle turbo paint code... lol... it will be what ever red they did a 91 16v in?? tornado red? but i think there was a few diffo shades of it so ill have to get the code and make sure the paint match is good.... lol

I've definitely got at least two standard mk2 16v steering wheels and I may have a golf ball gear knob, gaitor and side indicators if you are interested?

Just read your wanted post, may have a rear spoiler as well....

Looks like a pretty good starting point man, I'm going to ask the rude question though...



...how much did it cost you?
