    Have alook through here. Punch in your year model & go for it!

    Don't you love it when you look at how they were brand new!
    I wish I was able to buy one brand new. Especially a 1978 silver GTI with the tartan interior.

    That look's like it has a 9 spoke GTI wheel on the back!

    The Aussie cars were painted in Nissan (Datsun) colours. If you get a 1976 Datsun Colour Chart, all the Golf colours will be represented.

    I had to get wattle, baby poo yellow matched and it did not exist in VWs book. Then the old guy in the car shop said, hang on they made them in the Datto factory, pulled out his Nissan colour book and voila!

    Explains the 70s colour and the lack of correlation with overseas colour charts.
