A1 A2 W*I*D*E FENDER FLARES for Race, Street or Show are extremely light, high quality, strong fiberglass fender flares. While they are designed to fit A1 rabbits, they can be modified to fit most any vw 2 or 4 door.(4 door requires some custom work) The flares extend 4" from the side of the stock fender (2 1/2" past the stock fender lip) and will accommodate up to an 8 1/2" wide wheel. $795/set of 4 (or $210 each if you need just need 1 for collision repair) Theses are the exact flares that i use on my #54fp race car pictured:i have 1 used set/4 available for $400.
1 to 2 weeks lead time and a 50% deposit are required when ordering.
thanks! mark54ep

"Time to Go"
quote from Meg's shop class(roughly around 1998-1999), and then the horn![]()
This car helped shape Myself and "some" of my friends into the VW lovers/haters we are today (its more love though
).
Thanks Meg for all the memories and good luck with the race car.

He said I had a nifty little car. Oh, he did get me on not having a windshield washer reservoir..... luckly It only took me a minute to install it for a sticker. I brought it to a shop in Shelburne and the guy walked out of his office and said "No Way" just by looking at it

no races this june due to limerock closing for paving and forgetting that the scca made the track what it is/was today...i bet the first time the track is used, the pavement is ripped up because they don't let it cure long enough! serve them right! remember, you heard it here first... m54ep
