    Its a bad photo but you get the idea (should have scanned it in) - this was my Grandfathers old car

    It's a BBS kit, has zender wheels, a rear spoiler and a bonnet scoop!!. This photo was taken when the car was new at some local show in 1985

    I have an original BBS advert photo for you from one of my collection of late 70's and early 80's Motor magazine!

    Looks like you need to save for a set of BS RM's or RS's

    I have the same advert but with a scirocco and the BBS

    double check the pins on that new headlight switch, make sure it has the same number as the new one. usually the difference in the piccy on the front of it means its not the same type though it maybe the early pic face has been dropped
