very nice mate. looks good from what you have done to it.

that rlues ,same colour as mine,loving small bumpers....hmmmm????

mate that looks awsome! i love the grille type fingy that was on the back window its uniqe and sumfing a bit different! lol

think they call em lourve vents for rear window. i read something about em in one of vw mags. you can buy em from USA but don't think they are cheap. in the £1XX.

its cool tho.

hi, mate nice car did you buy it from pensnett/dudley?

i bought it from corby, off the guy who owns 'Crazy udder' the milkshake firm u see at all the shows??

Mate welcome along cars lookin great that rear screen visor must be well rare in the UK

alot of people have offered me £££'s for it but i just cant let it go!!!. I dont really need it for every day but it makes a good talking point at shows etc
