nice, I can see the gorse bushes in wicklow and wales just itching to scratch that nice shiney paint work. :wink: Oh heard somewhere that 2pac shouldn't be polished etc for about 6 months till it fully hardens so probably best to cover it with a layer of dirt just to protect it :lol:

Nice, I like the attention to detail. I see one or two brickwerks stickers ? Last time I checked, the mudflap retaining pins/washer were still available from VW.

What mirrors are they ? The shape is like the T3 one, but the mounting is different and they're heated.

Looking good! Well done.

Where did you get the spare wheel cover from? I could do with one of them. Saw them on ebay a while ago but didnt bookmark the seller.

The heated mirrors came from German E Bay. I thought I was buying Tristar mirrors but these arrived instead. The mounting is better and yes they are heated. There is no brand name on them but Ive seen similar in truck supply shops

Spare wheel cover came with the vehicle. I have a plain one as well with no 'syncro' logo on it. I have a very special logo to go on it soon
