Looks as though the club's got another member then rather than a one hit mentalist! ( forgive me for jumping to the wrong conclusion!) :D Olympic blue BXs have become quite thick around these parts recently - let's be avin some photos then!

I'm sure you'll find yourself a GTI interior if you hang around here a bit..

It's widely considered the best colour, well the best original colour.. ( concealing bias towards non-original shades of yellow)

To post photos, you need to get them hosted somewhere such as Photobucket or Flickr ( upload them to that site) then make links to them so all the BX fans can have a gander! :D

It's pretty straightforward and if you can turn the compooter thing on and off you can do it, providing you've got a digital camera cos those old Polaroid Land Cameras might look good..

That looks right nice. And that interior looks spanking. The GTI interior is probably more comfortable ( depending on who you ask, we had this debate here recently) but that is the original one - would you change the door cards too?
If you do find a GTI interior and you do remove that one, I would be most interested in that one for my Break ( which had that originally but was completely done in).
Problem is I live in outer space and come back to Uk rarely but I will be around this summer in my ex furniture van (lots of space for bits of BXs between the wife and the dog.) Personally I would keep the original interior if its in good nick..

In a mere three/four weeks in Huntingdon ( see the meetings section) - where BX enthusiasts will show you how to top themselves up with amber coloured liquid and then fall over to the lowest suspension setting

That's the same as my old interior, although mine was very worn out...

GTi seats are good, but not as good as 16v ones :P

Your car does look very tidy and original unlike mine, so it might be nice to keep it as it is.

Ok then.
Cant help with a 16v interior, but, if you want a set of seats and door cards from an 8V GTi, I have a set, located in Stroud.
They are taking up space that I could fill with other crap very easily, and I actually haven't been able to give them away.
So, if you want it, it's yours.

As an aside form that, if you do have the GTi interior and Todd wants the interior currentley in your car, I can store said interior till the national. Although actually fitting an interior in my car to take to the national could be interesting, but I think I can find a way around that.

Sound good?

BTW, are you like REALLY posh? Your name kinda makes me think of flowing ball gowns, very expensive champagne and top hats! Sorry if thats offensive, it's just this image I've got in my head, although I have had several beers now...
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
