ciarandeery1 22 Posted January 28, 2016 As I'm sure some have seen on Facebook 205 page Rob K contacted me regarding a bumper I was selling. Turned out it was off a 205 1FM. I had aquired it and wings etc along with a bare shell I had bought, we checked the vin and hey Presto, that's it. It was assumed scraped, but is here and stripped to the bare bones. I have found out the full story behind it to! I'd love to find the chassis plate and the original plaques etc but probably never happen! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dobboy 231 2 Cars Posted January 28, 2016 http://www.205gti1fm.co.uk/1fm-features/ I don't see it as being impossible to get back together, i'm sure other 1FM owners would help, an engraver for the badge, sticker man on here to do graphics, floor mats would be the tricky bit but not impossible.

ciarandeery1 22 Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah your right it's probably not impossible really. Would be nice to get it on the road in any sort of condition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dale205mills 39 7 Cars Posted January 29, 2016 I think there is some old pictures/thread some where about, got a feeling it was dipped to strip all the paint off a long time ago and then it went all quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ciarandeery1 22 Posted January 29, 2016 Sorry for just getting round to replying. Yes indeed dale you are right. Was sold off at auction then 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted January 29, 2016 Great find. Restore it. With the links the exclusive 1fm guys will have, I am sure you will be able to get it up to reasonable condition very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ciarandeery1 22 Posted January 29, 2016 Thank you, it is the bare minimum though, a shell, 2 wings rear bumper & valance and 2 door cards are all that remain with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamPug 22 Posted January 29, 2016 It would be good if you could find a horribly rusted late model car then transplant everything over. Obviously easier said then done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timoth123 37 1 Cars Posted February 6, 2016 Is it worth getting the history of the car from the dvla, think its form v888 or something like that. I got it for my gti and it gave the details of every previous owner. Could try and locate them on the off chance a few parts are stuck in a shed somewhere. Gotta be worth a fiver tou semd off with the form? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
