Slammed my notch! not......

Low As Ya Like on Volkszone.com did a bit of photoshopping on my notch! Seems as though I am one of the only people in the UK who wants me to keep it at standard ride height!

Got to admit - it does look pretty smart slammed on polished Fuchs (detailed ones would be better) - but considering the rarity and age of this car - this baby's staying stock!!!

Ouch

Hope they got out okay! ouch!!!

New Front End

So I've decided to relocate the reg plate on the front of my notch. Some doofus in Norway decided it would be a great idea to drill the ultra rare 61/62 only front bumper with two shacking great holes to mount the very apt original number plate on.
Whilst the reg was great in Norway, I wasn't best pleased with these two holes. (How high does the front end look in this picture!!!!)


























So I needed something to hide these two bolt holes - found these two grill plaques on ebay which seemed rather apt - Norwegian Auto Club badge and a generic Norway badge.
















OK - they are a little bit too big but they will do for the time being, and the car looks better with more chrome on view! Until I can fab up a suitable bracket for the original metal number plate, I'm going to put a self adhesive black/silver vinyl number plate on the metal front valance - just ordered it from http://www.craigsplates.co.uk/ - will post pics when it arrives to show you how it looks.

New accessory thingy!

Sorry for being a bit of a slow blogger lately - work & family stuff going on!

This was waiting in the post for me after the weekend.

NOS accessory door window mesh thingy - looks pretty cool me thinks! Functional too - stops all those wandering fingers entering my ride at shows!
