Sorry Guys, Have not updated for a while, had quite a bit on my Plate.
Some Bas*$%#s broke into the car about a month back, tried using a crowbar to get in,
stole all the sound, battery, basket and tray.
Damage to the body alone was R23000, Ars%$#les thought the engine bay was the boot and broke the lock, they eventually got in by breaking the entire window frame in the back, the items stolen amounted to around R18000.
Good news was the car is fully insured and is at the Panelbeaters for a new lick of paint and all other repairs
paid in full by the Insurance.
Bad news is will have to wait for a while to replace the items stolen only covered for R6000 and they only paid out R2500 after the excess.

Busy with some changers on the bug.
1) reverted back to the original rear window, the split was cracking at the joints. Looks so much better.
2) some changers in the engine bay
3) changed the front bonnet bay as well.
Pics to follow.
