That red really pops in the sun, very cool  :cool:
Also love that scenery, looks very much like the Cornish coastline.

The PZ on the boat gives it away too!  :smiley:

Thanks. Yes it is indeed the far west of Cornwall.

I found the CS door decals and the centre Clubsport panel here…
https://pogiparts.de/en/volkswagen/?p=1

A really nice company to deal with. For anybody wanting the centre panel, be sure to ask them to make one for a RHD vehicle. Fairly expensive parts but really good quality. The alcantara is backed onto an aluminium panel for both the door stickers and centre panel.

Pogiparts are well known for good quality kit, they have some really nice bits on their website.
I’ve been very lax about adding any bits to my cars in recent years but after having a scan around their site now I could be tempted  :cool:

I’m lucky enough to live here in Cornwall. It’s great at the moment, sunshine and empty roads 😎
The pictures are from St Ives, out on the B3306 towards St Just and Sennen Cove. A nice little road trip yesterday. 😎

I know those roads but my driving skills were humbled by a local driving a little Fiesta last September! 😁
I was dropping my dad from the pub in Newbridge to meet up with his singing buddies in St Just, and after dropping him there I looped up the coast toward St Ives and on to Hayle. Stunning views but the little Fiesta made more confident progress than my lardy Clubsport!
