Good to know. I hadn't thought of heat shrink. I'll give that a go

Hello again,
One thing I have on my current car came from Australia as they were not available here, and I noticed you have the Vw versions on your cool van, so may I ask where you got them, headlamp protectors?, I have tried ebay etc and it only shows the later facelift versions. Thanks.

They along with the bonnet protector where already on the van when I got it. They were installed when the previous owner picked up the van from the dealership.

I have not refitted them since having the bonnet and wings repainted as they had worn the previous paint down to the metal.

I will see if there is a part number on them for you.

Really wanted the red stitching so I retrimmed my steering wheel today.

It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it.

Hi,
Can you tell me which Radio you used there as i am contemplating a 315 or a 510 but think a non oem unit would give me more for my hard earned pounds?
I have seen loads on e bay but want one with Bluetooth gps rear cam as minimum.
Cheers.
