Keep the Morgan and throw the Golf away!:eek: :)

Those rims are f***ing sweet, that golf is gonna be very bad, i love the style of it, I am plannign to buy next (after my surrent order somes in) a late 90's golf and replicate the new R32 that will be sold in the staes shortly. If u havent heard of this thing it is bad 241 hp, awd, from a golf, but realy its nto a golf.

Thats a swwet model! I almost bought the same kind, it was a revell thought, the 2 n'1 . Cool model though keep it up!


P.S
More progress pics please

Yeah, luv those rims too.

Morgane looks better to me :)
Anyways, do what you will and hope it comes out just the way you want it.

So far so good.

loLz.. can't wait to see it finish~ :D

Is it a die-cast that you are modifying?

You are doing great work!

Once again I think it will be a cool model.
You always do great jobs Laurent.
:eek: :D :eek:

And you know that I love VW's too, you make me want to begin my Mk1.
Why don't I have enough time aaargghhh :(

Nearly "father"

Another fine golf on its way:)

I can't wait. I love the European work I see from you! Keep up the good work, and keep those models rollin' out. Keep us updated too!

I am e-mailed you awhile ago and i was wondering if you have any spare kits of the MKI golf like your red one and your silver one that you jus built...please PM me

looks great -golf boy:D :D

I didn't know Vitesse made a 1/18 Mk1. I've thought about picking up a Mk 1 model, but I have a real 1:1 version that needs a lot of work!

Nice car...I'm sure you'll do it up nice!

The Golf is cool, but I love the Morgane.

Great , looking forward to see the progress!!!:flash:
