Source 2nd hand, spray it black then paint on chrome effect??? One sold for £30 recently on fleabay

Or if you are a bit loopy do want new :wink: VW in Germany still sell it for 202.70 Euros plus approx 8 euros for shipping

So approx £174.94 in real money

An unfolded cardboard box with slots cut in it for me then :rollin

Agree on above. Mine was cracked in a couple of places but strengthened on the back with glass fibre than smoothed out with car filler, coat of platicote and good as new :D

No me neither - prone to rubbing off like the original I should think. Mind you, you can get self-adhesive chome trim in all widths on fleabay so anythings possible.

Shiny chrome things just attract society's magpies.

Then again we are not talking about a poxy old normal van. It's a Westfailure :wink:
