    honestly, I've never liked any two tone I've ever seen on a mk 1.

    Sorry but that's my honest opinion. The shape doesn't lead to the colour split I dont think. Doesn't mean you still can't do it, and prove me wrong though!

    Gotta agree with jarred there. With the black wheel arches too it might look like too much of a mish mash of colour here and there. Would love to see it turn out wicked though, would be pretty original.

    Yeah i hear what your saying mike. i think if i am to go ahead with the two tone, i will get rid of the gti arches and flare the existing arches. (keep it a little neater) But i must say i think i'm leaning toward doing it just for an experiment for us all I get it for free after all! So it will only cost me long nights and gritty eyes besides, its about time someone did a two tone that isn't black and white haha

    coming along nicely there Josh. I reckon two tone could be a winner. Your base colour is a great shade of blue to give a top deck effect. Honestly mate, we all look through these PVW and Golf+ mags and see these type of 'far out' designs (2 tone colour schemes, beetle interior, crazy wheels, rust etc) that are happening to Mk1's and think to ourselves 'thats actually pretty cool.' I know I sure do. But then we tend to hold back and play it self. (Ive had 2 mk1's and im guilty of playing it safe).

    And now I really want a mk1 project so I can just let loose. Have No second thoughts about what I want to do to it or what im doing to it. Hell, half the people on here wont like the end result....stiff....Thats whats soo cool about vdubs...you can do whatever you like to them. Its like a blank canvas. Your own masterpiece

    More of a money problem than playing it safe for me, I'de do lots of things with my car if I had the cash fund. Go the two tone if its possible and pull it off!
