Title: Wolfsburg Edition?
Post by: Row on 28 July 2004, 11:36

Hi,

With the risk of sounding stupid can any1 tell me what the Wolfsburg edition means?

I've got a 1981 mk1 gti, and have seen some cool accessories such as window handles, mirror adjusters etc with the 'Wolfsburg edition' logo on it.
Thinking of getting some, but think I need to know what it means first, and will it look out of place in my car??

Cheers guys  :)

Cheers

not that i know of, although everyones free to correct me.  

 some dubs are karmann edition (just mark 1 cabs, bugs and ghias?? i think) which is like a break away sub division from the wolfsburg factory , but wolfsburg is the mecca for all us dubbers really  ;D

the accesories with it written on are definately very kool  8)

Karmann is a design studio that did the work to make a mk1 into a cab. It is independent of VW and I think now owned by Ford.

Wolfsburg is the town in Germany that the VW factory is in.

The Wolfsburg Edition thing is as far as I know, completely invented. R&A Design seem to have gone for making everything possible with that logo on. It's not a VW invented thing at all  :)
