Traditionally known as "Solid Oak" Niall Clarke had been a great provider of parts to this forum for many years.
His passion and unquestionable enthusiasm has led to the set up of Retro Spares.

Please join us in welcoming Niall as an official business and trader to Autostadt.

We wish him well with this business venture. No doubt it will be a growing success.

Niall will be along shortly to introduce himself....again.... to you all :)

A true gentleman who I've bought from and recommended to many over the years, the roofskin for my mk2 which came complete with black headliner was meticulously removed from a car by Niall and shipped from Longford by another gent Vdubliner to my panel beater in Bray,...

Best of luck Niall

I honestly believe Niall often sells stuff too cheap. U
I usually end up asking him "are you sure that I'm paying you enough?", no joke. We've become mates over the years, and as the lads said, a total gent and enthusiast.

Thanks for the introduction Mike, I'm delighted to be on board as a site trader.

Thanks too for the kind words lads. I've met many members over the years whether face to face or via pm phone calls etc and I'm very grateful to the whole autostadt.ie crew for this opportunity.

As many of you already know I deal mostly in mk2 Golf/Jetta, mk3 Golf/Vento and Corrado parts. Everything from the smallest nut/bolt or grommet to full engine conversions/bare shells etc.

So if you need anything for your 80s/90s VW feel free to post in the traders section, pm me or call any time. If I don't have it in stock I'll do my best to source it.

I'm based just outside Longford town, I offer a nation wide courier service or parts are always available for collection.
I look forward to meeting more autostadt.ie members and putting faces to the usernames.

Thanks, Niall.
