Please forgive the topic title, my journalism teacher taught me to be bold with topic lines! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)


(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) I have a 72' 1.7 that has brand new "alpine white (soft white)" paint and gold "P" letters on the "hood".
The only other "badge" on the exterior of car is a gold {914} emblem on the right rear in the usual place. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)

Additionally, my car has Perini wheels (thanks Greg Robbins for IDing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) ) that are Mahle look-a-likes with "plain chrome" (unembellished) hub covers.


I would like to know if my car is "badged" as it was when stock and new (USA, USa, Usa, usa, usa usa.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif))

I would also like to know how a euro model was visually different, also regarding badging.

I am aware that the car was a VW-Porsche in Europe and I was thinking of "rebadging" my car in the "euro style" to match my "FLATVW" licence plate.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif)

Comments?
