But does the late grille match the smaller bumpers? Looks as if the bumper has been fitted over the normal European minor lights - was it normally that crude? What name to use - (station) wagon/estate?? -- Last edit: 2013-05-26 04:43:32

Ingo ◊ 2013-05-30 20:52	@Gag: of course. But here they didn't took an usual combination of the VW-company cars. There was no "F" issued before 1992. One time VW has changed a faked plate on PR-photos. There was a K 70 with DU-CE ... at first. Later it was retouched to DU-CF ... Probably to avoid irritations on the Italian market.
