Mk1 Golf GTI Seats

Sometimes we just like to do things the way Volkswagen intended, so it was great when we were brought some very grubby Mk1 Golf GTI seats to do just that.

We're Not In Kansas Anymore...

It's not often you see a Wizzard Roadster these days. The owners have had this for nearly 20 years and have taken the last 10 years restoring it. We were given the task of putting the finising touches in terms of fitting it back up and trimming it.The interior features hand fitted bucket seats in Burgundy Brookland UK Hide plus matching rear rear seat & door panels, with hand fitted carpets in grey square weave through out.

Phil Slade’s Turbo Bug

Here’s Phil Slade’s New Beetle that we’ve recently worked on. We have remodelled Golf Mk4 Recaros for the front and the standard rear seat in raspberry PVC. We have also trimmed and smoothed out the front and rear door panel inserts to match, with old school Beetle type map pockets and custom made rear speaker grills to compliment the raspberry vinyl. Other touches include matching armrest, gearshift gator, front grab handle and seat belt buckle covers. Phil has done some great detailing through out the car including carbon fibre skinning many of the plastic seat and dash parts.
