Title: OEM rare parts
Post by: busterdub on 23 May 2011, 11:16: hi all

currently working on my new project mk3 colour concept, going down the oem rare parts theme. yeah i know not the cheapest theme

so i have sourced a few parts like climbtronic, the rear shelf speakers..........

i know about the us spec arm rest, and the jap import steering wheel, and i believe there is a henry loyd?? splitter??

is there any other little gems i have missed?

I guess you mean climate control panel, are you aware that it is major work to get that working and more than the panel is needed.

I believe them tweeters are part of the nokia sound system, fitted as an option in germany and not sold in the UK

vw sold many special edition models throughout various markets like the uk ad the rolling stone for example (thanks to vw uk sponsering the rolling stones uk tour). The Uk also got the anniversary of 750 units, germany got it's own 20jahre model of 1000 units.
there is a full list on dopple-wobber.de (I think thats the site?) which shows the unique spec fitted to the ltd ed's
