You don't mention what scale, but if you're looking at making metal models, the 1:43rd is going to be the main area you need to research. They will also mainly be white metal models or mixed media (resin and metal/photo-etch).

A good place to start is;

Google is your friend. AUTOart, Kyosho are a couple of brand to look for quality wise in 1:18th scale, but there aren't many spares available for 1:18th models.

Solido make both the mk1 Golf GTi & 205 gti. Sunstar also make the golf. As stated above, spares will be difficult to get.
