Here's pics...



Note the little clip at the bottom of the photo, this is the button clip thing that pushes into the hole to spread the clip which holds it on... If you get my drift...

I think the part number is.... (I should have written it down... will check and reconfirm tonight)
171 857 827 C
Listed here for reference - 1980 Golf VW Replacement Parts

Hey, no probs on the links... Sorry, not sure if I need these yet as my 2 door isn't in my hands yet, and I may need them for it... Don't know the sites I listed from a bar of soap, They were sites that had them, that's all... will do some sniffing around for you anyhow...

If you need anything like that from the US.. let me know as I can bring it over in one of my shipments and save you a butt load of money if they quote you that much on shipping...

Dubmc love your work man. I am just getting to the pulling panels and the real investigating of the entire car. Trying to see what I really got myself into. MK1 Cabrio.

Have read thread from start to finish and its like an episode of Sons Of Anarchy. Just want one more episode. Keep them coming man this is going to help me Great guns. I have found a Mk1 up here that is being scrapped and he could have those Seatbelt covers that you are wanting. I'll PM you his number. Sounds like a Great Guy.

Well back to sourcing parts and blowing out my non-existant Budget. (Not yet allocated from the Minister for War and Finance)

Opinions?

While I await my seats I have been pondering the potential style alternatives for the old girl...I am keeping in touch with the track orientated look and was thinking of the following

- my steelies in flat black
- chrome bars in flat black
- duckbill (which is on the way)
- all body trim pieces flat black
- flat black VW logo front grille.
- flat black 1/2 cage (some time yet)

I reckon go with all of the above how about a thin red pinstrip round grill and headlights with one single pinstrip up the sides. Would look amazing. Could even do a flat red or a velvet red would set off the matte black
