You could apply for the Car's Birth Certificate from VW.

This is available for about 50 Euro's and should answer your questions in full.. Here is an example, this one belongs to Nigel our Engineer and was for his GT Beetle.



We have a link on our website for this service.

Sorry, my error. But then the first S2s did not come with the A-pillar trims so depends when OPs car was built.

Thanks for the update, that looks really tidy ;)

Talk to https://www.volkswagenstickers.co.uk/ - they're really helpful and I'm sure would supply you stripes for the lower wing, as opposed to the full kit  :thumbs:
