and yeah I don't know what his deal is, i've been speaking to him on and off since i sold it just helping him out with a couple things he wasn't too sure about how to go about changing over/fixing etc but yeah not so sure whats happening it keeps going up and down off gumtree...

now it looks as though things will be delayed even further....




...may or may not be commencing a full respray in the next couple of weeks (have a week off uni as well )

thinking about respraying either mexico beige or atlas white (as i've ALWAYS wanted a mk1 2 door in a crisp beige-y colour)

new window seals, chrome trim (window chrome and side trim), new carpet and new headliner to top it off

Just need to decide on a colour! :O

Beige would be hot!

[eltonking]

Beige would be hot!

my thoughts exactly! which one though is doing my head in...

SO, these are 'atlas white' apparently

in my eyes this is the perfect creamy white goodness anyone could ask for...

..but 'atlas white' also looks like this

which, apart from the horrendous filter the bloke threw on that last image, look quite starkly white and not the nice sultry creamy tones im after....


our next contestant is mexico beige, which sometimes looks perfect

and other times is far from and is quite 'heavy'

and then the unknown perfect mk1

and a nice one that i suspect is mexico beige, but still on the darker(ish) side

please help.

[eltonking]

just came across lotus white, might be a winner

[Surfpig]

that colour of the caddy is killer, i personally like white cars.
so my opinion is invalid

[LankyVW]

Atlas white gets my vote!

[anthony--t]

Yeah the atlas white on the caddy looks dope. I've always been a fan of the light blue mk1s though too!
