Hi guys,

I have been thinking about the special Aussie Flash Trim for my project.
Is it possible to get this trim as a new repro trim kit, or do I have to look for a EXPENSIVE original kit at ebay or thesamba?

There are reproduction flash kits made by Wolfsburg Automotive.

The originals were slightly wider than stock VW trim and needed their own special clip for fitting. The reproductions are the same width as stock trim and use the stock clips.

In VWMA issue 19 Aug- Oct '08 their ad had them priced at AU$550.00 including clips. The last few issues have run a slightly different ad that does not feature the flash kits, so it might pay to ring and see if they are available.

Wolfsburg Automotive: 1300-370-310.

I've heard that back in the day, dealers often fitted them as a way to shift stock that remained from the previous years model. They used hinge mirrors, radios and other bling for this purpose too.

Regards,

Matt.

Thanks Matt! Do they got a e-mail address or webpage also? Couldn't find any when I was searching the web.

Or could one of you guys give them a ring for me and ask if they got any left?
Kinda big time difference between Norway and Australia 😉 hehe
