What accessories/add-ons/obscure parts are you after for your retro-ride? For example, for the Golf I'm always half keeping an eye out for: * A pair of wind deflectors for the doors (I think Zender made some, or Hella) * A good "Pirelli" embossed centre cap for one of the wheels (well, I'm really after a full set but they are expensive!) * A good, MATT BLACK gutter-mounted roofrack - a chrome one wouldn't suit the car * A period Blaupunkt Radio/Cassette player - doesn't have to work I suppose, but I'd like to have the "correct" one in the hole in the dash

Not that obscure, i'd be happy with an original driver side front wing " driver " style trim strip, it appears it would be easier to gain an audience with Elvis....

Anything for a Toyota 1000. The dealerships here haven't been able to order me parts for years. Or so they say.

Little plastic scoops to cover the grilles on the engine cover of the Fiat 850 to stop rain dripping onto the distributor. Seen them once on bay in the US. Owners handbook for the Fiat, have one but its very tatty.

Not that hard to find I suppose but a mint drivers seat for the Golf ('rainbow interior') with no bolster wear would be nice. My interior is great except for the drivers seat which gives away the 140k mileage! ;-)

... oh, and a proper 3 inch rear box. Not a pea-shooter with a drainpipe-sized tailpipe like the ones I seem to find all over the place Although seeing blownimps "elephant wang" [insert innuendo here] has got me wanting one of those instead! Might fail the MOT though.... ;D

a complete shorrock supercharger kit for the Sprite at a price I can afford rust free upper tailgate & doors for the Amazon (again, cheap) - actually, I want a brand new unused Amazon estate bodyshell, already painted in dark blue, at the 1967 price
