Accessorize my VW?

Jon ponders with the idea of putting some accessories on his Ragtop Bug and finallyt bites the bullet.

Notek spot light with black centre

 I've always been a fan of period accessories. I think they have a certain charm about them and open up a little window into the past to give us an insight what people did back in the day. But despite my fondness of such items, I've never really owned any.


 Time to finally get the ball rolling and buy some!


I mentioned to Mr. Peene the other morning that I have always liked the idea of putting a spotlight on my Bug - you know, the ones that bolt to the bumper. We looked at a few on t'internet and found several. That was when he informed me he had a Notek black-spot in his possession and was willing to part with it for a stupidly low price.


Naturally, I snapped his wrist off in an over-excited deal shake.


I'll post up some photos once I have it fitted.
