Title: Wolfsburg edition mk2?
Post by: HuwMk2 on 16 October 2006, 18:25

Hi. I was speaking to a guy the other day who claimed his mk2 oak green 1991 car was a rare Wolfsburg edition? Could this be so? Did they do a Wolfsburg edition campaign model?

They did campaigns, but not wolfsburg editions, it's just a common myth. They were all made in wolfsburg for europe.

Was it only the Edition Ones which came with the Wolfsburg side repeater badges?

It would only have been fitted to very early UK MK2s, or MK2s from the continent since the side repeators are an MOT requirement over here.

My mk2 has wolfsburg badges where the side repeators should be and it passed it MOT no problem, in fact it failed on corroded front brake pipes and passenger side wishbone bushes worn.

Sorry, I am talking about the round Wolfsburg badges. I know for sure that the Edition One came with these from the factory.

The early mk2's came with the early rectangle variations on the continent, im not too sure when, or if, they were available on early spec uk cars before being replaced by repeaters.

No uk spec big bumber cars came with badges from the factory.

Lee.

do they replace the repeator or are they stuck on to the wing?

They just clip into the wing where the repeater would usually be.

hmm, was it an import?  If not I'm surprised its got thru all the MOTs without it being pointed out!  Perhaps you got understanding MOT inspectors ;)
