Exterior and Interior / Eyebrow for g40?

« Last post by Celyn.parry on November 19, 2023, 05:22:51 pm »

Hi all, I’m currently searching for an eyebrow trim for a Christmas present to my partner. I have been scouring the internet for a while but to no avail. Just wondering if anyone may had one they wanted to sell or knew of where I could get one. I understand they are quite rare now but I’m very determined to find one haha. I also wondered, as I’m not well versed in cars, if I had to get one specifically made for the g40 or if any other models may fit as a last resort! If anyone can help thank you in advance!

Hi mate thanks for the kind words. Yes she's royal blue under all the dust from being in the garage.
On the register I'd say mine will still be under Huddersfield from Dan.
Got a few jobs to do over winter then hopefully spring time I'm going out to enjoy her.

Time for another update, the last couple of months have involved lots of priming, flatting, smoothing etc... to get it ready for paint.

Doesn't make for the most exciting photos but here they are anyway....



















So now it's pretty much ready for paint, the next update I post, it should be red again and very shiny.

Nice looking car, is it royal blue? I was going through the register a few months ago trying to work out how many might be left on the road that colour, came to the conclusion mine was possibly the only one not currently sorn so it's good to see another back out and about.

NGK BPR7EIX is equivalent I believe.

Hi guys,
Sorry for my english.

I was wondering if there are people searching for the spark plugs W5DP0. For quite some time the spark plugs are completely out of stock here in holland.

No. I think something more extensive is the basis.

nothing on https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/ so I suspect non existent unless a new old stock one pops up on ebay.

probably best to get new ones fabricated, not particularly complex parts
