Hello could you please tell me where you got your euro emblems Deserion? I can't find the euro emblem for the back of my car anywhere. All they have is the euro emblem that swivels and hides the key hole?

So does the new switch do anything yet, or is it currently just a nice nod to the Euro market?

They suck! They both burned out within a week of each other (only lasted a few months).

I think I got them from the dealer. I'm not sure what parts vendor still carries them.

Sadly, it does nothing - I never installed the e-codes, so I will take it out soon and offer it with the headlights... which are for sale.

vert. Already have plastic and painters tape.

Thanks for pictures!

Des, I must say you and your family have a beautiful set of VWs! I love all of them! (particularly the Plat Gray as that was my first bug!) All the pics are beautiful too!!!

[DannyRandomState]

I don't know How I've missed this one!

Everything looks just right! That is one clean Beetle. I really like the subtleness of the mods. The Black with the Beige looks really good!

Back from early August. The 18"s were sold in February, and the tint was removed on the doors due to peeling. The car has been driven roughly 5,000 miles since April 2007.

Well, she still looks good! I couldn't get the pix to come up when I was looking for this thread when I swapped my carpet. You were my inspiration there. I still need to swap the armrest lid.

Well, April 19 marked my last full day of ownership, as on the 20th he's being returned to Volkswagen Credit to end the lease. It's a mixed bag, on one hand I don't care much, and on the other I'm going to miss the damn thing a lot.

So with a few final photos, I bid farewell to Phahom. I hope the next owner cares for it as much as I did.

[Titchy]

Jeez
He still looks good and hopefully will get some one that appreciates him.
