Keep plastic wheel arches on not?

[Smoestar]

hi mate, i recently bought my mk2, so i am a vw noob too- luckily no rust! and i am also from hertfordshire!

i would say leave the plastic trims on, they make the car look a lot more classic and also very cool - im not getting rid of mine!!

are you going to get this guy sorted out for screwing you over then?

If you've taken the pics and they're on your PC, you can sign up to www.photobucket.com where you can upload and store pictures online. Then once you've done it, next to the picture will be a bunch of links, look for the one (for each picture) that starts with "[img]" (without the "'s)

it depends on what you want to do with the car. If you want to do a full rebuild to show, then lose the plastic, including the side strips  and roll the arches to how you want them. If you want to restore the car to original, or just tidy the car up then keep them on.
