Mike, I was never too much of a fan of green body paint, but this shade captured my imagination. It looks great on your MKI. The white exhaust treatment is the first I've ever viewed and it does coordinate nicely with the roundels and side stripes. I remain confused on the taillight issue. I thought only the MKII featured the double lights. The wide and extra wide SPF rides I've seen have larger single lights. How would you judge the functionality of the two traditional side mirrors? I have ordered a MKI, but it will not be ready 'til summer, and I am contemplating the more modern larger body colored side mirrors that are affixed along the door. I entertain that idea primarily for enhanced safety, not for style or design. I realize that mod breaks with tradition, so I'm in limbo for now, but have plenty of time to consider. Please share your thoughts. Thanks for sharing . . . Robert
The early MK Is had the stacked lamps similar to the MK IIs. All of the "medium" and "wide" tails have the single, combination lamp setup.
That car is not Mike Drew's (although I am sure he would love to have it) but resides in the Chicago area.
You will find if you really intend to use and drive your car that a larger mirror setup will make traffic much less sweat inducing. While not "original" they are more functional. There are a couple of threads here regarding outside mirrors.
