rear mudflaps

trying to get my car ready for the 28th at gaydon. one thing that i'd like to do is fit on what ever was on the osr mudflap. theres two small holes in the mudflap where i would think there was once a badge of some sort. does anyone know ?   the car had had a pretty easy life when i got it {27000 miles} so whatever was on there was'nt very well fixed on.  I'm wondering if it was the round vw sign badge. what colour and what was it made of, and where can i get one.

Watson hi , original rear mud flaps had a painted VW in white on them , crazyquiff has been selling some South African sets and these too are painted . Yours may be original after market one.s so what should be on there is any one's guess ?


Cheers……

The correct period mudflaps have the Wolfsburg logo on them and were made by Votex (as can be seen on orginal cars - my Dad ordered his Formel E with them and they are in the VW Accessory brochures), not the VW symbol. VW then released the mudflaps with the VW symbol on during the life of the Mk2 I think, probably because of markets like South Africa requiring them as a bad road package. By then VW seemed to distance themselves from the Wolfsburg logo found commonly on Beetles, etc. They probably would have changed the steering wheels too had it not have been for the cost of the tooling change.

Your mudflaps may be the ones for the Mk2 made by Quantum which had seprate badges according to the model (e.g. "Golf", etc)

Thank's dubboy ops:


I always remember my mates "new" 1982 car with VW logo ? From new ?
Maybe those were after market items ?

I have seen the VW logo ones from both VW and on the aftermarket (you can still buy them). The Wolfsburg crest mudflaps were only available from VW.

Thanks for your replys.  The flaps were on the car from new. I,m sure something was fastened onto the o/s flap due to the two small holes. I don't think it had the painted round vw sign.  Is the wolfsburg logo the dog looking at his tail logo on the steering wheel ?  If anyone has the correct badge, I hope to be at Gaydon next week. Also looking for a series one glovebox lid.  took mine off to repair the lock and wife binned it.
