    nice cars mate , can you still buy new replacement parts for them easily. i notice that they changed the way the grill mounts which is good considering how easily the old ones broke.

    Welcome to the forum Jared. Any chance you could show us the interior? It would be interesting to see what a modern one looks like.

    Thanks

    You need to get them in as a low volume import so you don't have to crash test them and also have VWA hold replacement parts etc...

    Surely VWA is similar to other car manufacturers in that as they have the full international database, they can order in any part you want as long as you have the part number you need?
    Granted that VWA would charge you an arm and a leg for it though.
    Oh and welcome to the forums by the way.

    there are so many golf 1's around that parts are plentiful and price wise its about the cheapest to maintain.
