I recently had a brief outing to Dub Aid VW Charity Show near Malmesbury in Wiltshire and amongst all of the air cooled vans, bugs and buses, plus the off MK2 Golf, I stumbled across this wonderful Karmann Ghia in the show and shine! Outstanding!

An interesting MK2 Golf GTI found here: http://prolifik-one.com/tag/mk2-gti/

It's brown but they've found the perfect ride height over the Schmidt TH Lines rims, and bizarrely they compliment the colour of the car, original small bumpers and single headlight grille...I'm slowing moving towards taking mine back to a single lamp grille!

A great photo of a great car, the photo was taken by photographer Joachim Naess; his website can be found here: http://blog.naess.net/

He's got a wonderful selection of VW Photoography on his site, including this Black 1987 MK2 VW Golf GTI 8v on BBS RM's, small bumper and single headlamp conversion. Simple and beautiful, made even better by some great photography. I understand Joachim also does Portraits, Shows, Weddings and Magazine/Media work!!
