small update the old chrome bumpers were just starting to show there age so i bought some polished stainless steel ones as i started to swop over the parts i decided the other old parts just werent clean enough so ibought new end caps
the problem was the rubber strip that runs through the middle werer genuine ones i couldn't bring myself to replace them with non genuine ones, after some searching i found a pair of nos genuine ones i was a very happy bunny ! as these have little tags that just go over the end caps a nice little touch






some chrome goodies arrived enough chrome to do all the window trim

bonnet catch and door pins

Stunning car!  :happy2: I love Mk1s , funnily enough I tend to like the ones that ARENT a GTI , as I grew up with the cars in the 70s and very few people had the GTI but there were plenty of LS's etc going aroundand those are the cars that take me back to my youth! Nice to see one staying in its original colour as well , I cant wait to see this finished , its gonna be awesome!  :congrats:

My Dad had a 78 Polo N from new, so I know what basic means! He had to pay extra for a radio , a speaker (!) and an aerial!!
