Welcome to the CLUB126UK Forum > Introduce Yourself
Hello!
DarkHorseDave:
Thanks for the info Xylaquin. I had seen the history page on the club site but what I’m interested in is for example what’s the difference between the Brown, Black, Silver and Deville? I heard the Silver is quite special is it? And we’re there any extra options included with certain models?
I’d wondered whether it would be possible to change plastic bumpers for chrome ones, as new chrome bumpers are so inexpensive! Do the mounting brackets on the chrome bumpers line up with the mounting points for the plastic bumpers? And the shape of the front end of the car never changed slightly between models?
I know it’s asking a lot to hope for a rust free original paint air cooled RHD one, but I’ve seen a few that have sold within the past 12 months, so hopefully it’s just a matter of time and patience. I would consider a restored one if the work was good but I’d definitely prefer original paint.

This is one for the aircooled boffins!

Not sure if you meant inexpensive there, but assuming that you didn't: if you've lurked around long enough you'll know to look to the continent for cheaper parts (especially Poland, a quick glance seems to suggest the going rate is just over £40 for each chrome bumper). Chrome bumpers swaps can definitely be done, and as far as I'm aware the mounting brackets do line up. But again, I'm not the expert as I prefer the plastic bumpers.

It did actually, but not on the mounting parts. The lights on later models are more recessed.

Thanks Chris! Vitelli has mentioned it’s in Italian, I’m hoping my Dad (who’s half Italian) can help me with it. Or I may cheat and use a translator app that translates any text you take a photo of.
