If the plastic arches are mint you should leave them off and sell them to me!

They are genuine, I need to clean them up and have a look.

I'm tempted to buy some new ones to match the bodywork.



If you do buy new, I'd be interested in yours if they are decent.

So I tried the Wolfsburg steering wheel in the car.

It certainly looks good but after having used the Sportline one in the car I just prefer that.

I know it's not to everyone's taste but it feels so much better to drive with and so I'm sticking to that one I think.

Here's a couple of pics with the Wolfsburg and some pics from early editon yesterday..

Good call. To be honest, I liked both wheels equally in there so I don't think you could have gone wrong  :P  :cool:

Nice little touch - all in the detail!

Still doing the arches?

Btw where did you get your number plates done? The guy on here - DMB?

Yes arches are next. Just waiting for classic-vw to get some stock in.

Plates are from dmb.

Thanks

If you know me, you will know I have a soft spot for a certain set of alloys.

I came across some and had to have them!.

I test fitted one side last night….

Had my arches fitted today…

They are from vw heritage, they are not as good as original ones, but I've yet to compare to them to an original set.

The fit where the bottom goes near the rear valance isn't perfect but its 9/10 so I'm happy considering they are repro ones.

The car looks so much better now, I think lol

thanks

its a shame the judges didn't think so.

Some of the same cars keep winning every year at VW Festival which is a shame!

So not much has been happening with the car.

I’ve recently sold my bbs rs and am sticking to the Oz turbos..

The car is now in winter mode and is on its original wheels…

Here’s a couple of pics of her from the agm taken by the LC lego man photographer!








And one from earlier today …
