So mine is a silver mk1. Here in denmark prices on cars are crazy, 180% vat... Anyway this is my first decent car i own so i better care about it ! Right! things to be done is

Respray

New seats

New steering wheel

Engine tune in order to save a bit diesel...

Anthing I should know or do before I am having it respayed ? I do really appreciate any experiences and suggestions!

When the respay is done I will take care of the interior. Seems like I must buy new used seats another place than here i denmark. Norhing for sale here.

Thank you for the interest and any help as I along.

buy a new car perhaps, it will probably cost you less.

good resprays are expensive, especially if you are going to do it properly and do the door shuts, engine bay etc, unless its a 'special' car with lots of mods, its propbably not worth it in all honesty.

True, but since i am keeping the car for a long time and due to the prices here i will spend money on this one

I would do the paint last mate as mechanicals are the most important part. What condition is the paint in for the need of a respray wouldn't a decent cut and polish do the job. Post pics if it will help.

Rattle cans ftw!

Hej rart at møde en dansker

Må hellere tage den på engelsk så andre også kan følge med

Have you thought about getting the car vinyl wraped, the prices are not that high comared to a respray. In terms of the interior, there is often golf 4 gti seats for sale on dba, they will fit right in. I have a black recaro from a gti golf 4, looks good and is very nice in corners
