Wheels on:

Looks good @rowlers. Going by the plain black centre caps, I would hazard a guess they’re Pretoria replicas from CM Wheels.

Are you planning on changing the centre caps or fitting some domed VW logo stickers over the existing centre caps?

Yeah, reps from CM. Well spotted! I'll be getting some centre caps soon. I'm assuming they are the same size as on the Austin's, so could reuse those for now.

Unless they’ve changed supplier the OEM VW centre caps won’t fit.
You’ll need some 56mm stick on cap badges from eBay which cost about £7 or £8 a set

Had the front end resprayed a few weeks ago, and had them remove the number plate plinth.
I'm so jealous of countries that don't need front plates, it looks AWESOME without it!  :grin:



Does look really nice without it you're right.

Changed the battery, which was the original factory item, to a Varta AGM. Coded with OBD11.
