Hi Guys. I'm just new to the group. I've just purchased a Mk1 to restore. Now I'm chasing some parts. Wheel arch flares, plastic bumpers & an LSD gearbox. Any help would be appeciated. Cheers.

Welcome to the forum, its good to have you here.
Flares are getting harder to fing and front bumpers are an issue...
I have one new rear bumper left as one is assigned to a WA member.
I also have one set of secondhand flares left that have been cut around the back edge for tyre clearance.
Christmas cheers, Andrew

Just out of interest, how wide are the flares / plastic wheel arches? How far do they protrude form the metal wheel arch?

Just trying to figure out how wide I could go with tyres

[gtimk5]

They hardly extend the guard at all. more a trim thing really....

I have side skirts (Brand new) to fit MKI, but you need the big wheel flares to match up to em. PM me if interested
(Sorry I know its not the for sale thread...)

hey mate welcome, you will have fun in a mk1. ive got some brand new plastic bumpers and a body kit, chrome front bumpers are getting hard to find. you'll have to get some straight but rusty ones and have them rechromed. its only $200 to have it done.

All those parts are very easy to find, you'll just have a postage charge from overseas! Are you chasing the GTI arch trims or actual flares, though?

What gearbox do you have?

Thanks for the response. GTI arch trims are what I'm looking for (sorry) & the gearbos is a stock 4 speed. My plan is to replace it with a later model 5 speed with a LSD if possible.

Cheers.
