You keeping it blue with the chrome? "Retro chrome" is what I was aiming for (inspired by the OTT hubcaps), can't afford the scene tax on the small chrome bumpers though  I refuse to buy parts that cost more than the car!  |

They're still £500 from there! That's insanely stupid money.
Sausage bay can be cheaper but paying for stuff can be a hassle as not many of them take paypal. They prefer bank transfers but unfortunatley UK banks want to charge an extra £25 to transfer to a German one. Still some bargains to be had there as you say.

...can't afford the scene tax on the small chrome bumpers though I refuse to buy parts that cost more than the car! There are a couple of companies that make repro chrome bumpers, but they cost just as much as the second hand ones. Total for a front and rear set, together with rubstrips and endcaps comes to around £700! www.typ-17.de/product_info.php/info/p9264_Golf-I-Chromsto-stangenset-kpl-.html |
