"Genuine Parts and reproductions of highest quality
We supply spare parts for both aircooled and water cooled Volkswagen vehicles that are no longer regularly available through the Volkswagen Genuine Parts Division. These are in most instances save discontinued Genuine Parts, but we furthermore offer parts from Mexican and Brazilian Volkswagen production as well as reproductions of highest quality made in Germany."
Of course they will assess the repro parts and make sure they meet the VW 'grade', or as near as they possibly can, but it has been know for some 'VW Classic Parts' supplied parts to be inferior to the originals.
All the same the additions are looking great and well done on the 2nd - 1st place must've been exceptional to pip yours to the win. 8)

I had seen that some of their parts were repro, better then nothing or a damaged part I think.

Agreed! and it sounds like a good score on the grille trim!
Look forward to any updates, although I can't imagine what you would want to change and update us on?! Perhaps it'll just get shinier and shinier and you'll have some updates on the trophy cabinet. :mrgreen:
Cheers, Gav

Since I got the car I knew it would get a complete respray at some stage. I also wanted to do some mods which could easily be reversed.
Started by stripping the trim from the car.

Some damage that need to be fixed.
