(MOC) Creator VW Golf MK1 GTI

[Rishab N]

Surprised this topic has been quiet, but congratulations on reaching 10,000 supporters. I wonder how Lego will interpret the design

I see (via Instagram) that your superb Golf is part of the Ideas display in Lego House.

Do you have any plans for offering instructions or an LDD file?

Shame it never made it as an official set

Hasan actually was selling instructions on eBay a little while back.  Actually still is:

note there are a couple custom pieces, stickers you’ll need to have printed, and a few I found in the build that did not exist at the time in the color needed. There are also a few really expensive parts though that is typical of custom builds.

In terms of custom pieces do you mean parts painted ? As the wheels have obviously been painted silver?

So both the wheels themselves and the ‘hubcaps’ (train wheels actually) are chromed in his model.

the door handles he uses, 22484, do not come in black and would need painted.

99781, bracket 1x2 - 1x2 in red for dashboard, does not exist. Could sub.

in terms of expensive parts-

2736 in black, need 2, just for shifter. (Ok not crazy but expensive for what it is)

62360 in black, need 4, fender flares.

Thanks for the info. Looks like it could be expensive for the arches

Very nice, but add gaspedal and such like in the Caterham!

Also changed the VW Beetle to have this, much more realistic!
