    Early GTI trim details

    Im in the market for some replacement trim items for a Mk1 early GTI replica project that I have on the cards.

    Where abouts would I find windscreen seals, coupe door glass seals and scrapers and rear side glass seals that dont have the chrome trim grooves? Most vendors do not make a clear distinction as to what the trim actually is for.....

    Are the side trims just normal black/chrome trims painted black?

    I am also interested to know of any early plastic dashboards that anyone has that they dont want (unlikely I know).

    Cheers,

    If you can't find the seals, etc locally there's a guy in the UK that specialises in all the kind of stuff for mk1's crazy quiff's

    I can't be more specific on the GTi side trims in terms of colour, mine has chrome ones but i daresay they've been replaced at some stage, and should've been black. You can pick up rolls of the stuff from a hardwear/auto store (think 3M make it???)

    Also in terms of a dash I'd be looking into getting one sent from south africa, way easier to come by. Managed to pick one up a while ago by shear pure arse, wasn't cheap but atleast it won't crack (easily)

    Hope this info helps

    I can tell you that '78 GTi side trims are a black "wrinkly" finish and are in the shape of a "C" and clip on to the panels. I'm actually chasing a couple to replace some damaged ones.
