The more I think about it the more you were right: The bumpers I suggested would be too thick for the real look. How about some sliding rails like the ones I used on the sides of my Cobra(s)?

@Nils O. : That idea of yours sounds clever, the reason I didn't use bumper is that I wanted to capture the pure Golf Mk1 look.

That's a very cool model of the "Strawberry Basket" as it was called in Germany because of the rollbar. I like the shape and it's great that it works for a minifigure, too. I have an idea for the bumpers: Instead of the 1x4 SNOT brackets you could use 2x2 SNOT brackets and make bumpers with 1x4 plates and tiles. Just an idea, though, its your model :-))

@Thomas Graafland : Yes, it does! :-)

Nice car! don't mind the front bumper! It still looks good! Does is fit a minifugure? :)

v Because a front bumper will ruin its proportion, especially in this scale.

I like it, but why there isn't front bumper? whatever, she's cool, come rate my VW camper Octan van, my osers creations too, if you want, and my VW Golf II, when I post it! I promise you don't west your time , thank and see ya! ;)

v Yes, it's in fig scale, I just don't have female figure to drive it.

nice convertible! fig scale, my fav! a fig inside would have made it look even better, or does it fit? well done!

v Thank you, Fred.Not bad is good enough for me.(^_^)

Not bad for such a small scale ;-)

v Thanks for the compliment.I tried to put the bumper on it, but it ruined the car's overall proportion.

This is a great car I love how lts mlnifig scale if I had one thing to complain about its that it dosent have a bumper other then that 5/5

v Thanks, J.I am planning to built more LEGO city car like this, I just need to find a car with suitable proportion.

Very nice! Once again easily recognizable, would like to see more of this style.

v Glad you like it, guys, it was a bit of a challenge for me.(Thanks to LUGNuts)

Not your usual building style, but absolutely nice little model, great presentation too, keep it up.

Nice car, care to comment on my latest moc. Thanks.
