Hi all. Been a LOT longer than I had hoped (work keeps getting in the way!)but the Clubby is nearly done. Still got the full interior to sort but externally and mechanically it's almost there. I'm fairly happy with the rattle can and lacquer paint job. A good cut and polish should sort it! Love to hear comments, both good and bad (please be gentle though...lol)

Yeah, it would do, it's off a Mk2 Golf GTi. lol. It's just one of those "personal taste" things. Took me ages to cut and shape it. Had to take about 6" out of the middle then fibreglass it back together. What a carry on!

sounds like fun, rather you than me as far as cutting it goes, as a personal thing what would a blue fillet trim instead of the red look like? i have seen them on mk1 polos before now

Yeah, I considered blue but, originally, I was going to do the wheel arches red with white wheels (Union jack theme) but lack of cash meant I had to calm my spending down! So I stuck with what it came with. I've put red seam strips on the Clubby too.

Depends what you define as "cheap"? Once done I'll be selling mine because of a change in my circumstances. I'll be looking for around £2,500 if you're interested. I'm logging off now but will be back on tomorrow or you can P.M me.
Cheers......Dave
