Another question, I see in your in the UK but your sig states Alaska?
The V5 is as far as i know still available here in the UK. There is a V5 S model, which came with a leather interior and a few other bits. But the engine was the same.

Yes, it's because of the new Bug being Alaskan Green

Been on forums a few years now, no profile fields confused, if your going to drive an Alaskan, all fields must tie in with each other

The reason I asked, is because the rear tow hook covers are impossible to find for the TS here in the States. As the cars run the same bumpers,[I think].. I was wondering how hard it would be to find one in the UK?

The V5 is the 2.3 same as the UK sport but without the body kit/wheels/interior from the US Turbo S which has a 1.8T running 170bhp as opposed to the GLX with a 1.8T with 150bhp

If the part comes separately to the bumper, then i can't see the main dealers not selling them

Actually the TS comes with a 180bhp tune.
I will have to spend some time seeing if the dealers in the UK have the hard to find tow hook cover.
